Case Study: Los Angeles Community College District achieves major travel and carbon‑emissions reductions and improved productivity with Lifesize HD video

HD video is clean, green and right on the money for the Los Angeles Community College District

The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), which educates nearly 200,000 students across nine campuses and an 882+ square mile service area, needed a cleaner, more efficient way to communicate that matched its strong sustainability goals. Long commutes for executives and project teams, plus disappointing results from older video systems, made timely decision‑making costly, time‑consuming and inconsistent with the district’s energy and green‑building initiatives.

LACCD deployed 23 LifeSize systems (Room and Express), LifeSize Gateway and Control software across campuses, installed by Vizual Symphony, to deliver intuitive HD video conferencing. The result: reliable, real‑time face‑to‑face meetings with the touch of a button, significant travel and carbon‑emissions reductions, higher productivity for executive and construction teams, and a scalable platform for future distance‑learning expansion.
