With Evolv Express, the Clowes Memorial
Hall has eliminated 30-minute queues and improved security
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in weapons detection
security screening, today announced a partnership with Butler
University. The NCAA Division I school has chosen Evolv’s
state-of-the-art Evolv Express® screening solution to secure the
entrance to Clowes Memorial Hall, the anchor of the Butler Arts
& Events Center and improve the experience for patrons
attending events.
With 2,148 seats and a history of presenting artists dating back
to 1963, Clowes Memorial Hall is once again welcoming patrons back
for performances that range from comedies to musicals. Reopening
with a more enjoyable experience from entry to ovation was top of
mind for Aaron Hurt, executive director of the Butler Arts and
Events Center.
“Clowes is about bringing art and culture to central Indiana and
helping people celebrate a sense of community,” says Aaron Hurt,
executive director of the Butler Arts and Events Center. “Evolv
allows us to focus on that, rather than worrying about how long it
takes to get into the building. Since installing the Evolv system,
our patrons are inside and enjoying the theater, concessions and
being together – in no time at all. The experience from before
Evolv to now is night and day.”
Clowes welcomed its first show back since COVID-19 in September.
Prior to re-opening, the University made several updates to the
building, focused on improving the Center’s patron experience and
addressed security concerns. By installing Evolv Express, the lobby
size increased by 15 feet, allowing patrons to enjoy theatre
amenities after passing through security without invasive bag
checks and pat downs.
Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with artificial
intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat detection
at unprecedented volume and speed. Nearly two thousand people
turned out for Clowes first performance in 2021, walking straight
through the Evolv system without waiting in long lines.
“At Evolv, we strive to enable a safer environment without
sacrificing visitor experience,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv
Technology. “We are thrilled that our technology is enabling Butler
University’s Clowes Memorial Hall to welcome patrons back safely,
with a much more pleasant experience from entry to ovation.”
Clowes Memorial Hall is back to full capacity with a full slate
of shows, including music, dance, comedy, and more. In a typical
year, more than 300,000 people (about half the population of
Wyoming) attend events at the center, including students and
teachers attending educational matinee performances.
George continued: “The university, along with so many other
venues and facilities, is turning to Evolv to facilitate the
seamless flow of guests and patrons as they reopen. Once they
realize they can deliver a safe and enjoyable experience, it’s a
game changer for both security personnel and patrons.”
