Specialist Technology Integrators for Heritage Buildings
Aura are the UK’s leading workspace technology integrators for Grade I and II listed buildings. Designing & deploying with conservation restrictions, not despite them.
TRUSTED BY:
Trusted & experienced
Heritage-safe installations
See how Aura transformed the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, deploying workspace technology without a single drill hole in Grade I listed stonework.
Join us for an exclusive guided tour and see for yourself how we did it.
The challenge
Heritage buildings weren’t designed for technology
Conservation Restrictions
You can’t drill into Grade I stonework. Preservation officers have oversight on every fixture. Standard AV approaches simply don’t work.
Invisible Integration
Equipment must complement the architecture, not compete with it. Cabling concealed, interfaces intuitive, technology felt but not seen.
Connectivity in Heritage
Stone walls, vaulted ceilings, materials that pre-date electricity. Reliable connectivity requires specialist design, not off-the-shelf hardware.
The Solution
Accessible Audio in Oxford’s historic Bodleian Library
See how Aura deployed Auracast broadcast audio in this historic grade I listed building. No drilling or new cabling and now the official standard for accessible audio in the UK.
