The Project
Peabody Energy wanted to build a new corporate boardroom that would be used for board meetings and strategic, energy planning sessions with 9th floor Executives. The Boardroom, however, was going to be a brand new build-out. When Innovative Technology Group (ITG) was brought in to
assess the room, there was one big hurdle that had to be overcome: a Draper 12’ rear projection screen was recommended for the size of the room, but it could not be brought in via an elevator. The window in theboardroom would have to be removed and the screen would have to be lifted into the room - located on the 9th floor of Peabody Headquarters in downtown St. Louis.

The Result
On a quiet, early Saturday morning, a huge crane started its engine in downtown St. Louis, to the east side of Peabody’s headquarters. A 12’ rear projection Draper screen, boxed up and hanging from aircraft cables, was elevated to a window on the 9th floor and was guided safely into the building. With equipment now all in the new boardroom, installation and callibration could begin. Once the rear projection screen was placed at the front of the boardroom, retracting, cherry wood panels were installed. >>>read more
