An AV (Audio-Visual) Room in architecture refers to a specialized space designed to support audio and visual presentations, often used in educational institutions, corporate offices, entertainment facilities, and conference centers.
This room is typically equipped with advanced technology such as projectors, surround sound systems, acoustic treatments, and lighting controls to enhance the quality of presentations or multimedia experiences.
The architectural design of an AV room emphasizes soundproofing, proper ventilation, and ergonomic seating arrangements to ensure comfort and functionality.
Thoughtful planning of cable management, lighting, and equipment placement is essential to maintain a clean and efficient environment suited for communication and collaboration.

In construction, a detailed drawing of an AV (Audio-Visual) Room includes comprehensive architectural and engineering elements that ensure the space meets its functional requirements. These drawings are crucial for coordination between different disciplines (architectural, electrical, mechanical, and acoustic).
Here’s what is typically included:
AV Room Detail Drawing Components:
Layout Plan:
- Shows the room dimensions, furniture layout (seating arrangement), screen position, projector mount location, and AV equipment racks.
- Clear path for cabling and access.
Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP):
- Indicates lighting fixtures, ceiling-mounted speakers, projectors, acoustic panels, and HVAC diffusers.
- Acoustic treatment layout may also be included.
Wall Elevations:
- Details screen or display wall with mounting specifications.
- Placement of acoustic panels or fabric walls.
- Conduit or raceway routes for cabling.
Electrical & Data Layout:
- Power outlets for AV equipment.
- Network cabling routes (Cat6/Cat7 cables), HDMI, audio, and control system wiring.
- Dedicated circuits for projectors and amplifiers.
Acoustic & Soundproofing Details:
- Wall section drawings with layers of gypsum board, insulation, sound barrier sheets.
- Door and window details with acoustic seals.
- Floor treatments for vibration and noise control.
HVAC & Ventilation:
- Proper air circulation layout to manage heat generated by AV equipment.
