CSU Ballroom Specification Sheet

In October 2011, the Centennial Student Union Ballroom reopened after a complete floor-to-rafters renovation. The Ballroom can be used as one large event space or five separate spaces for concerts, speakers, banquets, weddings, meetings and a variety of other events.

The Ballroom features a unique lighting plot that enables energy-efficient LED lighting to customize the colors on the walls and ceiling to virtually any hue. In addition, there are dimmable metal halide and halogen downlights to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. There are 17 Sony laser projectors mounted from the ceiling, providing projection coverage of the Ballroom in almost its entirety. The newly-installed projectors are the largest single-application of Sony laser projection technology in the country. All 17 projectors can be controlled by Dataton’s WATCHOUT, a multi-display software that orchestrates photos, animations, graphics, video, sound, and live feeds across multiple display areas.

When divided, the Ballroom allows each space to have separate, simultaneous media controls. This is all done through mobile media carts controlled by a Crestron control system. This allows the Ballroom to be utilized for multiple events at the same time while still giving the opportunity to utilize the sound, projection and lighting in each divided space.
