Technology

In most cases, IT equipment such as audio, visual and control systems will be ordered by Classroom Technology Services. The basic equipment required for most innovative learning spaces include an instructor station with a house computer, monitor and a document camera, multiple projectors/screens or direct display monitors, an audio system and an enhanced WiFi network.

 

 

Accessibility

All renovations, including restrooms and the path of travel serving the renovated learning spaces, must meet ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). Sherry Santee, Senior Consultant of Access from the Disability Resource Center can review accessibility and path of travel plans in renovation proposals to ensure that they are accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities..  Be sure to mention the "ISLE Program" if you reach out to Sherry Santee.
