When COTH began leasing space in the Opelika SportsPlex, in 2015, Clark assisted them with a permanent AVL install, including a sound system, cabling, patch panels and rigging for truss and motors. Infrastructure was upgraded as well, including patch panels and tie lines over the stage area. Perhaps even more importantly, the installation gave the school access to technology that they would normally not be able to have and flexibility in how they use the space.Īlso in 2014, Clark upgraded the video switcher and routing system in the main auditorium.

The church received an adjustment to their weekly rent to help offset the cost of the install and volunteers can now accomplish Sunday morning set up in about an hour (down from four hours).

This included permanent infrastructure to enable the church to hang speakers, truss and lights, as well as an upgrade of the audio infrastructure. Clark was asked to help design and implement technological changes to the space that would be mutually beneficial to the church and the school. In 2014, the church launched a portable campus in a school auditorium in Huntsville, Alabama. Clark was able to take everything they had learned on the previous projects with COTH and apply it at the Auburn campus. What had begun as a satellite near the Auburn University campus in 2007, continued in 2013 in a permanent place. The firm was asked to design the AVL for the main room, several theaters, including three children's spaces, and all of the distributed AV. The Auburn campus was special in that it was the first new, ground up project Clark did with COTH. Within an 18 month period, COTH and Clark partnered on the AVL for three campuses - Riverchase, Greystone and Auburn - an exciting and challenging time for everyone involved in the overlapping, fast-paced projects.

Using their 3-D design tool, both before and during construction, engineers fought for every inch in the room to ensure each seat had a full audio and video experience. Prior to construction, the team engineered the space "down to inches" to ensure that the video screens had proper clearance and that lights and speakers wouldn't block the sightlines. The purchase of an existing building - a former data call center - required Clark to adapt the space to ensure people at the back of the long, narrow room would feel engaged and connected in the worship experience. They called on Clark to handle all of the AVL for the new auditorium.ĬOTH's Greystone campus outgrew its space in 2011, only two years after they had begun to meet in a local school gym. The new facility also included six offices, a couple of small classrooms, and a cafe. Since the auditorium seated around 350, COTH chose to add on a new auditorium, with seating for 1000, and use the previous space for children's ministry. The facility was literally given to them several years earlier by a nearby congregation whose pastor passed away unexpectedly, without a succession plan. In 2012, COTH upgraded their first permanent offsite campus - Riverchase.
