Departmental Space AV solutions present a wide variety of options and opportunities for our AV Services team due to the fact that they can include any space that a university department owns/manages and wishes to have equipment installed in. 

This allows our customized solutions for these spaces to range from small conference rooms with a simple display on the wall to large conference rooms with a projector, microphones, and audio reinforcement; small classroom and instructional lab-style spaces with a simple lectern to present from up to large lecture hall-style spaces with multiple projectors, wireless microphones, and multiple lecterns with multiple document cameras.

Unlike campus Learning Spaces that have AV systems which are installed, maintained, and upgraded (based on a standard lifecycle replacement schedule) with the use of University funding, Departmental Space AV systems are funded fully by the department that owns/manages the space. This means that the installation, any requests for service/repairs, and the eventual upgrade of the system must be funded by the owning/managing department to ensure the system remains operational. We encourage all departments to budget for/follow the standard AV lifecycle replacement schedule of performing system upgrades every five to seven years. This will ensure reliability, provide consistency across campus systems, and allow for support of emerging technology/connectivity options as they are adopted.     

Whether the installation of a new system, or the upgrade of an existing system, an AV Services team member can meet with you to go over the details of the space, your intended usage, the required peripherals that may need to be available/integrated, and provide you with an estimate for the system.

Please feel free to browse our Budgeting for an AV System page to assist with identifying budgetary pricing that you can use for a future system installation or upgrade. 

Once you are ready to discuss the final details and receive the formal estimate for your space from an AV Services team member, use our Contact AV Services page to get the process started.
