"Smart Classrooms" Open

"Smart Classrooms" opened at Lecture Center 25, Fine Arts 126, Earth Science 242, and Performing Arts Center 264. The Smart Classrooms are a New York State Legislative Initiative aimed at upgrading the use of multimedia and were funded as part of a three-year, $3.6 million grant from New York State awarded to the SUNY System. LC-25, FA-126, and ES-242 all received new sound systems, computers, video projectors, and more. Each room has a Creston System touch pad which allows instructors to raise or lower light levels, lower projection screens, and operate audio-visual equipment from a podium. FA-126 received tiered seating, a new electronic podium, a projector cabinet, and an acoustical ceiling.
