The Tiger Wood’s Learning Center Project (TWLC) is an excellent example of TSI‘s consulting, project management and integration of computer systems installation. TSI worked on the TWLC from the inception. They consulted with the architects, curriculum developers and the various vendors of computer and electronic equipment to insure that the facility would be twenty first century classroom model in every conceivable way. A TSI project manager was on location for three months and many meetings were held with Dr. Pickering as the principal consultant and various other vendors. TSI has completed all installations of equipment and the TWLC will have an official opening in February of 2006.
