IET Savoy Place: Listed Building

Established in 1871 on a mission to inspire, inform and influence the global engineering community, supporting technology innovation to meet the needs of society. Savoy Place has been home to the IET since 1909, and the site has a very interesting history dating back to 1246.

IET commenced a £30 million refurbishment in 2013 upon receipt of an approval letter from Her Majesty, The Queen. Savoy Place is a common venue for BBC live broadcasts and for the Prime Minister’s press events, and was awarded ‘Best UK Venue Brand’ three years running for event hires.

AUDIO VISUAL INTEGRATION BRIEF

Keeping the target audience in mind, AV/IT systems had to be developed for use by members of IET as well as for marketing a venue of status to the event-hire market. The brief included building-wide IPTV, video and audio conferencing, video streaming, and outdoor broadcast points.

“Snelling Business Systems have proven to be very capable AV integrators not only for meeting the specifications of the brief, but also for their sound advice and technical know-how throughout the course of the project. We had set extremely high expectations to meet the needs of the Savoy Place, which we intend to promote as one of London’s most premium venues.

 

I’m delighted to say this has been achieved as evident from our sales and revenue figures. The process they followed to assess and understand the needs of all audiences that would use the spaces has worked to our benefit”.
