Hospitality & Event Facilities
EDC specializes in design and design/build projects that require the audio and video element as a
highlight of the visitor’s experience.
The Chambers
A luxury fine art hotel located in downtown
Minneapolis.
 Electronic Design provided audio and video design and
installation services. The design
incorporated a flexible audio distribution system that
supports both foreground and background
music for all areas in which sound and speech
reinforcement is required by the space. This allows
the space to provide audio as either a focal point or a
complement to the surroundings,
depending on use.
The rooms in which audio was provided include:- The Ice Chamber Outdoor Lounge
- Chambers Kitchen (the main hotel restaurant)
- Main Hotel Bar
- Roof Top Lounge
- Art Gallery
- Ballroom and Meeting Room Areas
- Hotel Common Areas
The system provides control of audio — both source
and level — for each of the above locations.
The sources include local inputs, including microphones
in the art gallery, ballrooms and meeting
room areas. Facility-wide sources such as DVD players,
satellite radio and programmed audio
are available to all the locations. A wide variety of
speaker types and brands are used in each
space for best possible sound reproduction with minimal
aesthetic impact.
Westin Minneapolis
An historic restoration of a bank built in 1941, located
in downtown Minneapolis.
 This was a design/build project in which we worked
from a basic Starwood specification and adapted it
to meet the requirements of the space. This project
required flexible audio distribution and control along
with a particularly challenging restaurant/bar
featuring a 34-foot vaulted ceiling.
The rooms in which audio was provided include:
- The Bank (the hotel restaurant)
- Private Dining Rooms
- 1 of 3
- Boardrooms and Meeting Rooms
- Pool
- Fitness Room
- Common Areas
The system provides control of audio both source and
level for each of the above locations. The
sources include local inputs, including microphones in
the meeting rooms and boardroom areas.
Facility-wide sources such as DVD players, satellite
radio and Westin programmed audio are
available to all the locations. A wide variety of
speaker types and brands are used in each space
for best possible sound reproduction with minimal
aesthetic impact. The boardrooms include
fixed ceiling-mounted projectors and powered
ceiling-mounted screens. Interactive mobile
presentation systems were provided for use in rooms
without installed systems.
Mystic Lake
A casino, hotel, and conference center located 30
miles southwest of downtown Minneapolis.
 This was a multiphase design and installation project
that included audio and video for many different types
of rooms
including meeting rooms, restaurants, recently remodeled
lobby and golf course club house. Additionally, we are
currently in the process of doing design work for the
remodeling of the adjacent Little Six Casino.
Coralville Marriot Hotel and Conference Center
Located on lushly landscaped grounds along the Iowa
River, Coralville Marriott Hotel &
Conference Center is located adjacent to The University
of Iowa.
 Electronic Design did all of the design and
commissioning for the facility’s audio and video
systems.
The rooms in which audio and video were provided
include:
- 60,000 square feet of event and meeting space
- Restaurant
- River Bar
- Pool
- Health Club
This design and installation includes extensive use of
intuitive touch-sensitive control panels for audio,
video
and lighting control throughout the conference center. The flexible routing of audio allows multiple rooms to
be
combined or separated as the facility requires.
Minneapolis Marriott City Center
A business conference hotel located in the heart of
downtown Minneapolis.
 We recently upgraded the audio systems in a 30,000
square foot meeting and event space. This space includes audio,
video and lighting control via wall-mounted touch sensitive
screens. This control allows the management to easily combine and separate
rooms, as well as to route audio source and level.
Bloomington Hilton
Located in the Twin Cities suburb of Bloomington,
Minnesota.
 With a full array of amenities, this Bloomington hotel
is ideal for both business and leisure travelers. We designed and installed an audio system
that supports flexible routing of audio
throughout the facility.
The hotel spaces included in this design are:
- Lobby and Common Areas
- Restaurant
- Lounge and Lobby Bar
- Ball Room
- Meeting Rooms
- Board Rooms
- Pool
- Outside patio
The system provides control of audio — both source and
level — for each of the above locations.
The sources include local inputs, including microphones
in the ballrooms, boardrooms and
meeting room areas. Facility-wide sources such as DVD
players, satellite radio and programmed
audio are available to all the locations. A wide variety
of speaker types and brands are used in
each space for best possible sound reproduction with
minimal aesthetic impact.
