THE University of Bradford has unveiled a new 10-metre-wide 4K resolution LED screen.
The display was installed in the university's largest lecture theatre, Horton D, also known as 'the Barn.'
This is part of a £3.5 million campus-wide technological upgrade aimed at 'enhancing the student experience'.
The screen, made up of two separate 4.8 metre-wide, 1.2mm pixel-pitch LEDs placed side-by-side, was installed by audio-visual experts Roche AV.
Russ Hind, head of IT service delivery at the university, said: "This flagship installation is part of a multi-year project to enhance our collaboration, learning, and development environments using the latest audio-visual technologies on several projects around the university."
The university has also installed new audio-visual equipment in the clinical areas of the Horton A building, along with approximately £600,000 worth of new IT equipment in the computer science labs.
IT director Juliette Atkinson said: "The IT department is dedicated to supporting an excellent student experience and driving forward technological change through continuous investment."
The £3.5 million investment in new technology is in addition to a recent £2 million revamp of the Student Central area and a £1.6 million upgrade to the university's J B Priestley Library.
