In Summer 2025, facilities led a project to convert this room into a departmentally controlled, laptop cart room. OIT will still support the AV in this space but the computer support for the laptop carts is being handled by LAS. Kacey Ross is the main point of contact. If Kacey is asking for assistance, please help to the best of your ability. |
