Grainger Hall's classroom AV setup is visually very different from the AV setups in other buildings around campus. The system is meant to be as simple as possible to make the user's experience more effective and reliable.

The following is detailed information on the use of the AV touch panel that controls the classrooms AV systems. This panel sits on top of the podium in each of the rooms listed above and allows you to switch video inputs for the projection system, and adjust the volume levels of the sound systems.
