A two-year Arizona institution with a film school recently went public with details about its screening room. Scottsdale Community College runs a two-year hands-on program that features courses in sound design, story theory, pre- and post-production and screenwriting, among many other courses. Last year, the college opened a new space where people can watch movies, television shows and other creations of its students.

The screening room was opened in the school's Film School Hub building, which also houses classrooms, a computer lab, production studios, collaboration rooms and an equipment storage "cage." The new screening room includes 9.1 surround sound system, a large format display, and a Sony VPL-FHZ55 professional-grade laser projector.

The college worked with Troxell Communications to outfit the room. As college Media Coordinator Justin Johnston said in a press release, the company "implemented a strategy to meet both our product and timing requirements to complete this project within all of our required parameters. The result is outstanding."
