A SQUARE IN THE SQUARE
A PARKING LOT FOR CARS TRANSFORMED INTO A PLACE FOR PEOPLE
SVIA Consulting partnered with Cambridge Central Square Business Improvement District, Flagg Street Studios, and various community members to develop a state-of-the-art audio, video, and lighting system. This project involved the use of advanced audiovisual over internet protocol (AVoIP) technology. The AVoIP system was designed to be robust enough for outdoor use and user-friendly for beginner technicians. SVIA took charge of the entire process, including design, engineering, procurement, and installation. They also provided organizational development consulting and brokered strategic partnerships to ensure the system's long-term success and usability.
Starlight Square will forever remain a fond memory in our hearts…
SVIA played a crucial role in fostering community relationships. They brokered a strategic partnership with Zumix, a non-profit organization in East Boston that serves a diverse group of young people through music and arts programs. This collaboration highlights SVIA’s commitment to supporting community initiatives, empowering youth and delivering supportive technology solutions.
One of the most significant transformations was converting a parking lot once for cars into a place for people. This vibrant venue hosted over 150 events annually, and became a central hub for community activities. Starlight Square exemplified the essence of community building by providing a safe, inclusive space where local artists showcased their talents and residents gathered.
Starlight Square quickly became a beloved space in the community but now a fond memory. It hosted a wide range of events, including live music, theater performances, art exhibits, and community gatherings. This venue not only brought together artists and audiences but also strengthened community bonds and fostered a sense of belonging.
SVIA’s work on this project demonstrates their expertise in integrating advanced technology with community needs. Their holistic approach ensured that the technology was not only cutting-edge but also accessible and beneficial to all community members. Through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions, SVIA Consulting has significantly contributed to enhancing the cultural and social landscape of Central Square.
