Upgrade Classrooms Without Construction: Meet the AVMountsUSA™ Over-the-Board Mount

The Challenge: Modern Tech, Outdated Walls

Schools across the country are investing in interactive flat panels (IFPs) to enhance learning—but there’s one problem we see all the time:

👉 The classroom wasn’t built for it.

Many spaces still have:

• Chalkboards or whiteboards permanently mounted to the wall

• Unknown materials behind the wall (sometimes hazardous)

• Limited time windows for installation

• Tight budgets that don’t allow for demolition and reconstruction

  
  

So how do you modernize classrooms without tearing them apart?

The Solution: AVMountsUSA™ Over-the-Board Mount

At Pierson, we use solutions from AVMountsUSA™ to solve this exact challenge.

Their Over-the-Board Mount (OTBM) is designed to:

✔ Install directly over existing boards

✔ Support large interactive displays (42"–105")

✔ Eliminate the need for demolition or wall reconstruction

Instead of removing what’s already there, the mount works with the space—not against it.

---

How It Works

The AVMountsUSA™ Over-the-Board Mount system uses a structural mounting frame that:

• Anchors securely to the wall structure

• Extends outward to clear the existing board

• Provides a stable mounting surface for the display

This allows the interactive panel to sit in front of the board, while still leaving space behind it.

Key Benefits for Schools & Facilities

1. No Demolition Required

Avoid removing existing boards—and everything that comes with it:

• Wall repair

• Dust and debris

• Potential asbestos exposure

👉 This is one of the biggest cost and risk reducers.

2. Faster Installation = Less Disruption

Because there’s no tear-out:

• Installs are significantly quicker

• Classrooms stay usable

• Projects can be completed on tighter timelines

Perfect for summer refreshes or phased rollouts.

3. Lower Project Costs

You’re not just saving on labor—you’re eliminating:

• Construction crews

• Disposal costs

• Wall refinishing

👉 That means more budget can go toward technology, not construction.

4. Safer, Cleaner Installations

No demolition =

• Less risk to installers

• No exposure to unknown wall materials

• Cleaner job sites

5. Flexible Across Environments

The system works across:

• Metal stud walls

• Wood stud walls

• Concrete

And it supports a wide range of display sizes and brands—making it ideal for standardizing across districts.

6. Built by Installers, for Installers

One of the reasons we trust this system at Pierson:

It was designed with real-world install challenges in mind.

That means:

• Faster mounting process

• Reliable structural support

• Consistent results across projects

Where This Solution Makes the Biggest Impact

The Over-the-Board Mount is especially valuable for:

• K-12 classroom upgrades

• District-wide tech refresh projects

• Older buildings with legacy construction

• Projects with tight install windows

• Facilities trying to avoid costly renovations
