The City of London replaces its main Visitor Information Centre, adjacent to St Paul’s Cathedral, with a striking new building opening in November 2007. The new centre uses the latest information display and delivery technology: 10 large screens display information to visitors, alongside smaller screens for City staff to show individual tourists internet and network based information. Mike Prymaka coordinated the design and procurement of the IT and AV systems, and is project-managing the build, co-ordinating City of London in-house resource and external suppliers. Mike muses; “I worked for Mercury in the early 90’s when the City was seeing major installations of fibre networks. We always thought high speed data links would reach everywhere. But little did I imagine that 15 years later I’d be working round the corner from Red Lion Square, planning COLT’s connection to the City’s Visitor Centre at 100 megabits/second as a standard service, and displaying video on 10 flat monitor screens.”
