The Science Building Renovation project required that academic departments housed in the building be relocated to other spaces across the University. The project began moves in Fall 2020 and ramped up activity in Spring 2021. Academic Technology supported the initiative in the following ways:
Assessed and Salvaged Audio-Visual Technology
The Learning Spaces team walked through the Science Building to assess spaces with existing audio-visual equipment (including projectors, screens, LCD's, and additional devices). All salvageable equipment was uninstalled and removed for re-use across campus instructional spaces.
Installed Audio-Visual Technology for Surge Space Needs
The Learning Spaces team performed installs in the Trailers, Science, Thornton Hall, and Creative Arts to facilitate needs for display technology in spaces to which academic departments or teams had been moved relocated.
Facilitated Faculty and Staff Office Moves (Computers and Technology)
The AT Desktop Service team facilitated the technology portion of office moves to ensure computers, printers, and copiers.
Migrated and Setup Computer Labs
The AT Desktop Service team supported the relocation of several computer labs to new locations across campus.
The cablecast service and physical media checkout pool will be unavailable for Spring 2022.
