Classroom Upgrades and New Installations

Overview of the Project

An ambitious project to improve general assignment classrooms began in the Fall 2006 semester. The classroom upgrade and renovation project represents the campus commitment to teaching and learning environments. The improvements are being made under the auspices of the Campus Committee on Classroom Policy and Management, currently co-chaired by Vice Provost Catherine Koshland and Vice Chancellor of StudentAffairs, Harry Le Grande. “I am very gratified the Chancellor has allocated funds to substantially improve the quality of our general assignment classrooms. This project will benefit a large number of students and faculty members,” said Koshland. Educational Technology Services and the Office of the Registrar are managing the project.

A total of 24 buildings on campus will have audio/visual systems with data projectors, DVD/VHS video players and auxiliary equipment inputs by the end of this four year project.

During the two-three week installation periods, classes will temporarily move to either 118 or 122 Barrows Hall or 102 Wurster Hall. We apologize for any inconvenience.
