Central Elementary School Theater System Upgrade
Central Elementary School recently completed a full theater system upgrade designed and delivered by PureTek Group, transforming its auditorium into a modern, student-friendly performance and learning space. The project included the integration of professional-grade stage lighting, a robust audiovisual (A/V) system, and a fully implemented unRAVL™ control system—PureTek’s proprietary platform that simplifies and unifies control of all installed technologies.
This upgrade provides educators and students with streamlined control over lighting, projection, and sound systems through a user-friendly touchscreen interface, significantly improving the flexibility and usability of the space. Whether it’s for school performances, assemblies, or cross-curricular activities, staff and students now have access to a system designed for ease, performance, and longevity.
With hands-on training provided for staff and student operators, Central Elementary now boasts a future-ready theater environment that supports creative expression and interactive learning—making it a model for elementary school performance spaces across the region.
