DVAI partnered with a local architectural team to help achieve optimal sound performance in a new theatre space. Using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and a virtual acoustic generator, our team modeled the room and simulated how sound would behave throughout the venue before construction was finalized. This allowed the design team to evaluate different configurations and materials to achieve the best possible acoustic performance. Based on the modeling results, DVAI recommended targeted acoustic treatments and panel placements to control reflections and improve clarity. The result was a theatre environment engineered for balanced, intelligible, and immersive sound for both performers and audiences.

An architectural firm retained DVAI to design and deliver the audio-visual systems for a new Indigenous recreation and health centre. Our team conducted stakeholder interviews with community representatives and project partners to understand the vision for how the spaces would be used for gatherings, wellness programming, and community events. DVAI translated this input into a comprehensive AV design that supported flexible, multi-purpose use of the facility. The proposed solution was presented to the client for review and refinement, and once approved, was fully integrated into the overall construction documentation package to ensure seamless coordination with the broader building project.

We support a crown corporation by deploying secure wireless infrastructure, structured cabling, and speech privacy solutions within a high-security facility. The project improved network reliability, strengthened communications infrastructure, and protected sensitive conversations, ensuring the environment meets strict operational and security requirements.

We design and deploy secure AV meeting and boardroom solutions for government environments, enabling clear communication, video conferencing, and content sharing for briefings and decision-making. Our systems prioritize reliability, security, and ease of use to support efficient collaboration across departments.

Installation of a sound masking and speech privacy system for a government research facility to protect sensitive conversations and improve acoustic comfort. The solution included distributed emitters, centralized control, and precise tuning to create a consistent background sound that reduces speech intelligibility between offices and collaboration areas. The system supports secure discussions, enhances workplace privacy, and meets the stringent requirements expected in a research and government environment.

We designed and deployed a flexible audio-visual solution for a defense contractor’s multipurpose collaboration space, supporting both a divisible meeting room configuration and a large all-hands presentation mode. The system enables seamless switching between independent meeting environments or a combined town-hall style space, with integrated displays, distributed audio, wireless presentation, and intuitive touch-panel control. The solution ensures secure, reliable communications while allowing teams to quickly adapt the space for briefings, collaboration sessions, and company-wide meetings.

We provided AV system design for a new office building, delivering integrated technology across all meeting spaces and a large second-floor multipurpose room. The design focused on flexible collaboration, high-quality video conferencing, and intuitive control to support presentations, hybrid meetings, and large gatherings.

We designed and project managed a comprehensive security upgrade to enhance site safety and controlled access across the facility. The solution included installation of turnstiles for managed entry, exterior bollards for vehicle mitigation, Code Blue emergency stations for rapid response, and integrated intercom systems for secure communication at access points.

The project improved perimeter protection, streamlined visitor flow, and strengthened emergency response capability through a fully coordinated, end-to-end security design and deployment.

Ongoing AV managed services for a federal transportation department, ensuring all audiovisual systems remain reliable, secure, and fully operational. Our team delivers proactive monitoring, routine maintenance, and rapid issue resolution across meeting rooms, collaboration spaces, and public-facing facilities.

We also manage system updates, performance optimization, and preventative servicing to minimize downtime and extend equipment lifespan, allowing staff to focus on service delivery without technology disruptions.

Ingenium engaged DVAI to design the audio-visual and security systems for the new Collections and Conservation Centre to accommodate their corporate offices and warehousing. Our role was to facilitate a needs assessment, present options and recommendations to senior management, and integrate the selected solutions into the overall construction package. Further we were responsible to install and commission the Passive Optical Network and associated cabling that supports all building technologies.

Canada regularly engages Davidson Violette to design and install audio visual systems both locally and abroad. Various departments and Crown agencies leverage the Audio-Visual Supply Arrangement (AVSA) and/or the Video Conferencing Procurement Vehicle (VCPV) to retain our services.

Ingenium engaged DVAI to design the audio-visual and security systems for the refreshed Museum of Science and Technology. Our role was to facilitate a needs assessment, present options and recommendations to senior management, and integrate the selected solutions into the overall construction package.
