American Bible Society: Video Wall & Digital Signage
Project Requirements
As American Bible Society planned their new ChangeLab space, they sought a modern environment that could support a wide range of programs from hybrid gatherings and community meetings to innovation workshops and educational presentations. Their goal was to create a centralized hub where teams and partners could connect effortlessly, whether on-site or remote. Achieving this required an A/V system that was reliable, flexible, and capable of supporting large events. The A/V setup had to easily adapt to different audience sizes, content formats, and interaction levels.
The scope of work included a video wall, digital signage, and live streaming capabilities. All of this would improve ABS’s ability to promote their “State of the Bible” research project and host live events. This technology would not only elevate their internal work but also make the space appealing to partner organizations who would rent or use it for their own programs. In short, ChangeLab needed to operate as a multipurpose venue with modern A/V capabilities at its core.

Solution
- Video Wall: A dual-sided video wall with two 219-inch displays gives ABS a versatile setup for the ChangeLab. One screen serves in-room audiences, while the outward-facing display serves as digital advertising visible to the street. The room’s flexible design supports multiple seating and staging configurations.
- Digital Signage: Digital signage was installed in the ChangeLab and common areas to support day-to-day communication and create a cohesive visitor experience.
- Live Streaming: Three cameras, one facing the audience and two facing the screen, provide full coverage of any presentation or event. This allows ABS to record presentations and simultaneously live stream to remote audiences or on social media.
Result
With Haverford Systems managing the technical execution, American Bible Society could focus on shaping the vision for the ChangeLab. Early collaboration and transparent communication kept the project on track and addressed complex A/V challenges the architects hadn’t anticipated. Since opening, the space has already made a measurable impact, enabling ABS to launch a changemakers’ campaign that engages a new demographic of supporters. This initiative is helping the organization broaden its fundraising reach while demonstrating how a thoughtfully designed, adaptable space can advance its mission and create meaningful outcomes.
