Gates/Hillman Complex Project

MediaTech is developing 26 new media-rich facilities within the Gates/Hillman Complex.  Of the 26 new facilities, eight have been designated as Registrar teaching spaces with the remaining 18 being developed for specific School of Computer Science (SCS) applications.  Through a collaborative initiative between MediaTech and SCS, the 18 SCS facilities have been jointly designed and will be installed and managed as a team project.  

This collaborative approach has integrated specific SCS faculty user requirements  with MediaTech's campus-wide standards for media-rich facilities.   As a result, this approach will simplify the transition for faculty members into the new building by  providing  continuity between other campus-wide classrooms.   Media equipment for this project has been ordered and components have been tested and inventoried. The media-rich lecterns are  currently being assembled in a recently created staging room and system programming is underway.  Equipment installation will begin as soon as building occupancy is granted.
