Christie laser projectors are providing immersive educational experiences at the Luanda Science Centre (CCL) in Angola. The CCL, built on the site of a former soap factory, features audio and visual technology inside and out to engage visitors and inspire future generations.
An auditorium at the CCL has been equipped with two Christie Griffyn 4K35-RGB pure laser projectors, and Vive Audio speakers, to deliver impactful educational content, while eight Christie D20WU-HS 1DLP laser projectors power a permanent outdoor video mapping attraction on the building’s façade. The project was carried out by Christie partner PROAVIT and consultant MUSE for Athena Swiss.

The 146-seat auditorium features a 180sqm (1937.5sqf) screen that measures 15.5m (50ft) wide by 11.65m (38ft) high, totalling more than 12 million pixels.
Pedro Carmo, director of PROAVIT, the AV integrator for the project, said: “With 36,500 lumens, RGB pure laser illumination, native 4K resolution and 3DLP technology, the Griffyn 4K35-RGBs deliver spectacular visuals with an exceptionally wide colour gamut. Special effects include vibration, water and air, which are synchronised with the on-screen content to increase immersion.”
The auditorium is also equipped with Dolby Atmos with 32 audio channels, powered by 34 Christie Vive Audio speakers and nine Powersoft Quattrocanali series amplifiers.
Jordi Mollà, AV engineer at MUSE, added: “Outside the CCL, eight Christie D20WU-HS 1DLP laser projectors were installed discreetly in ventilated watertight cabinets to map onto the façade of the building and create a 114m (374ft) wide by 11m (36ft) high canvas. This nighttime projection was created by Ocubo, a design studio, and aims to bring learning to life, highlighting topics such as Angolan culture, the human body, planets, fauna, flora and science.”
He concluded: “Christie technology has contributed to transforming this space into a true centre of excellence, creating a cutting-edge immersive experience for visitors.. We would also like to highlight the work of PROAVIT, which solved the various challenges we faced with great efficiency and professionalism. The Luanda Science Centre has established itself as a benchmark in education and entertainment in Africa, backed by an advanced technological infrastructure that is unique in the world.”
