New Projectors!

If you've used 700B classrooms 310, 216, or the 601N Design studio (4th floor), you may notice the "Smart" classroom A/V podiums and integrated screens/projectors. Ad-Tech systems, our audio/visual installation contractors, have recently installed integrated screens/projectors in two additional rooms (N330 and N030) - the upstairs computer lab + video/animation lab.


The new projectors installed at Newbury Street have freed-up 2 LCD projectors which will be available for check-out once they have been checked and reconditioned for public use.
Please stay posted on available technologies!
