The Baltimore Ravens Boys & Girls Club at Hilton Recreation Center

Challenge

Transforming an Underserved Community Space Into a Central Hub of Inspiration

The Boys & Girls Club sat vacant for over 10 years, with little to no upgrades in several years. This space was an inspiration for Torrey Smith and the Baltimore Ravens to bring an opportunity to the youth in West Baltimore. The Club was in desperate need for support of programs focused on academic success, leadership opportunities, the arts, athletics and tools for a great future.

Balancing Security & Safety Measures With a Welcoming Youth Experience

Safety and security is always a top priority for a youth club. The challenge was to create an environment that could implement a security system that protected both the young members and staff while still preserving the youth atmosphere.

Implementation of Modern Audio-Visual Systems

The new facility required AV systems capable of supporting all activities including: interactive learning, presentations, community events, field house AV, basketball facility, meeting rooms and offices. The club needed systems that that were versatile, reliable and user-friendly.

Ensuring Reliable Connectivity Across the Entire Facility

For youth programming, operations and club activities, consistent Wi-Fi was a non-negotiable during planning stages. Part of the challenge was to deploy a robust and campus wide wireless network system in a setting that expected high usage among staff and members.
