Orange Coast College

GST partnered with Orange Coast College to assist in maintaining and restoring the projection capabilities of the OCC Planetarium. The primary objective was to remove six high-end projectors, and reinstall the projectors post-servicing. The client required a highly coordinated effort to avoid multiple visits, manage fragile equipment, and ensure minimal disruption to the Planetarium’s ongoing use.

Key Tasks Included: 

• Labeled and documented cabling and mounting positions, then safely removed six ceiling-mounted Sony projectors while preserving infrastructure and preventing damage.
• Packaged the projectors using GST-provided materials, labeled them by location, and coordinated a single-batch delivery to the manufacturer’s authorized service center to streamline logistics and minimize disruption.
• Reinstalled repaired projectors to original positions, then reconnected and verified all cabling to restore the system without altering AV settings.

Through the careful removal, coordination, and reinstallation of six high-performance projectors, GST helped restore the OCC Planetarium to its full immersive potential. As a space known for delivering captivating educational and visual experiences, the Planetarium is once again ready to engage students and visitors alike. GST’s support ensured the technology was brought back online smoothly and reliably, contributing to the continued success of this unique learning environment.
