STADIO Musgrave Leads the Future of Education with Kramer AV Tech

Education is evolving, and institutions like STADIO Musgrave Campus are leading the way by embracing cutting-edge AV technology to enhance learning experiences. Outdated audio-visual systems can hinder student engagement, communication, and content distribution, making it essential for campuses to invest in smarter, more efficient solutions. That’s exactly what STADIO Musgrave has done with Kramer AV solutions—a game-changer in modern education.

 A Vision for Future-Ready Learning Spaces

STADIO Musgrave Campus in Durban has undergone a major technological upgrade, transforming lecture halls and classrooms into high-tech, future-ready learning environments. Expertly executed by Robbie Loumeau and his team from IT Outsourced, the project ensures seamless integration, enhanced connectivity, and an immersive audio-visual experience with the latest Kramer AV technology.

Electrosonic SA’s Journey to STADIO

As a trusted AV technology partner, Electrosonic SA has played a key role in delivering advanced Kramer AV solutions to STADIO Musgrave. In collaboration with IT Outsourced, our team ensured a seamless, high-quality installation that enhances STADIO’s future-ready learning environment.

STADIO began as a subsidiary of Curro Holdings Limited, a leader in pre-school and school-based education in Africa. Expanding into higher education, Curro acquired Embury in 2013, focusing on teacher training. During this period, Electrosonic SA played a pivotal role in integrating Kramer AV solutions at Embury, setting the stage for STADIO’s broader AV transformation. Recognising the growing demand for post-school education, Curro later formed STADIO Holdings, which became an independent entity listed on the JSE in 2017.

Since then, STADIO has consolidated several prestigious institutions, including AFDA, Milpark Education, LISOF, Prestige Academy, and Southern Business School, into STADIO Higher Education. This strategic expansion aligns with STADIO’s commitment to lifelong learning. The recent AV upgrade at Musgrave Campus, delivered in partnership with Electrosonic SA and IT Outsourced, enhances this vision, providing students and faculty with a state-of-the-art learning environment.
