The Supply and Installation of an Immersive Suite Solution

Description

Wrexham University is looking to create an immersive space that will be used for a wide range of activities from training scenarios for our students and industry partners through to development of immersive training content and supporting technologies. We are looking to install an Immersive four wall and floor projection solution space using 2D projectors to be installed into a new building at the university.
As a guide, the expected users of the immersive space will be:
University Students
Academic Researchers
NHS Professionals and Trainees
Industry Partners
Schools and Colleges
Professional Training Organisations
Interdisciplinary Project Teams
Community Outreach Initiatives
University subsidiary limited companies – Glyndwr Innovation Ltd. (GIL), North Wales Science Ltd. (NWS)
Commercial partners who the University will have Commercial Partnership contracts which may deliver revenue generation.
The Immersive space will be housed in part of a new building on Wrexham University’s Plas Coch campus. This building is due to be completed during December 2025 therefore whilst the procurement of the immersive suite technology will take place during 2024 the full installation of Immersive Suite would not be scheduled until  late 2025. It is expected that the Immersive Space supplier will work with the construction contractor throughout 2025 to ensure successful completion of the overall project.
