With the aim of creating a modern sanctuary equipped to handle theatrical dramas, special events and contemporary worship services, Minnesota-based Rockpoint Church enlisted the design and integration services of local Crestron dealer, Audio Video Electronics (AVE) to collaborate with local architectural firm, BWBR Architects, during preconstruction planning.

To meet the challenge of outfitting the 60,500-square-foot campus, the integration team designed a Crestron control system to manage video, sound and lighting systems throughout the space.
