Outdoor LED screen for the Javeriana architecture plaza
A university plaza turned into a meeting point: a 6 × 4 m LED screen and steered sound that does not spill into the neighbouring classrooms or clinic.
The technology upgrade of Javeriana’s architecture plaza turned a passageway into a meeting point: a 6 × 4 m LED screen and a sound system that steers audio towards the audience, without disturbing the classrooms and the clinic around the plaza.

The challenge: programming campus life outdoors
The university wanted the plaza to work as a meeting point for the whole academic community: cinema, concerts, fairs and art shows.
An open space imposes two conditions that are hard to reconcile. The image has to be visible in daylight, and the sound has to be clear without disturbing patients at the university clinic or classes in the nearby rooms.
On top of that comes the weather: in Bogotá, anything installed in the open lives with rain and humidity all year round.
The constraint that shaped the project
The sound had to reach the plaza clearly and stop there.
The solution: a 6 × 4 m screen and sound that points
We installed a 6 × 4 metre LED screen from 375 LED, which delivers high-quality images in an open space.
The audio is by Fohhn, a brand known for steering sound: it is intelligible across the plaza without affecting patients at the university clinic or teachers in the nearby classrooms.
Both the screen and the speakers are built to withstand the rain and the weather conditions of the place where they are installed.
Key idea
Steering the sound, rather than turning it up, is what made it viable to run events on a working campus.
What we installed
Four technical decisions support the daily use of the plaza.
6 × 4 m LED screen
From 375 LED, with high-quality images visible in an open space.
Fohhn steerable sound
Intelligible audio across the plaza, without spilling into the clinic or the neighbouring classrooms.
Outdoor-rated equipment
Screen and speakers designed to withstand rain and the local weather.
Eco-active technology
Thanks to its eco-active technology, the screen is equivalent to a small forest of 36 mature trees purifying the air.
Sustainability that is also economic
The screen is self-cleaning, which lowers maintenance costs. Fohhn speakers are built with nearby suppliers that reduce the carbon footprint, recyclable raw materials and spare parts guaranteed for up to ten years.
That frees up budget previously spent on maintenance or on the technology refresh planned every five years. The university can invest it in fitting out new spaces and equipping more classrooms.
The result
The plaza now supports the programme the university wanted: open-air cinema, concerts, fairs and art shows for students and staff.
Behind a project that looks simple there is deeper work. The university assessed not only the quality of the equipment but the real impact of the technology installed.
Its openness to brands that combine technical quality with a carbon-neutral commitment makes this project a reference for other universities in the country.
