Overview

Buchanan Hall has full-time Instructional Development staff and student technicians that provide professional tech support and training for instructors and events in all four lecture halls in the building. Each lecture hall is equipped with a sound system, lectern computer podiums with HDMI connections, chalk boards, and laser projectors that display connected devices on a central screen. Importantly, access to the lectern and equipment in Buchanan Hall is activated and controlled by our staff. Faculty and clients unfamiliar with the equipment in Buchanan Hall are urged to consult with us before their class/event to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Our staff trains instructors on the available technologies, helps to obtain additional equipment when needed, and regularly maintains all hardware and software to ensure that the equipment remains fully operational. Student Operators are on call and available to run all of the equipment for faculty, provided the service and equipment is ordered in advance. We can also provide faculty with "hands on" video/audio equipment in the lecture halls for those who wish to run the equipment themselves.
