During the winter break, the AV team will facilitate several small projects in various classrooms. Some of this work had been scheduled for the summer but was impacted due to shipping delays and resource constraints. Continue reading AV Team Continues Classroom Improvements Over Winter Break
Each year, most of our planned classroom technology upgrades are scheduled during the summer months. The AV Installations team identified the rooms receiving new equipment or maintenance work and with faculty input from the Academic Technology Council. Most rooms received significant improvements last summer in preparation for the SMUFlex experience. Therefore, this summer’s work included fewer major overhauls and more enhancements or maintenance repairs than usual, but still offered improvements in over 100 rooms.
Over the past 12 months, our classrooms received a significant amount of technology and equipment upgrades and changes. During the summer months, work was done in 250 rooms to install the various components necessary to support SMUFlex.

As a remote graduate student myself, I was able to experience the efficacy as well as the limitations of our initial technology configuration firsthand. In order to provide a better experience for the spring semester, the University authorized the purchase of another set of technology that was installed over the Winter break.
