Classroom Support

Our Mission

Our classrooms are the primary places where we educate our students. The state of our classrooms--their configuration, condition, and equipment--greatly affects faculty teaching performance as well as the attitudes and enthusiasm of faculty and students. The classroom support project is designed to create a critically needed system for the maintenance and support of the University's lecture halls and general purpose classrooms. It supports the substantial investment that the university has made in upgrading its teaching facilities with state of the art instructional technology. The goals of the classroom project are:

To enhance student learning.
To provide oversight and coordination of the maintenance and support of the University's lecture hall and general purpose classrooms.
To provide preventative maintenance, repairs and support of the University's lecture halls and general purpose classrooms, as well as the equipment installed and provided for those rooms.
To provide ample technology and technical support to advance the use of technology in the classroom.
To support and stimulate faculty use and development of instructional approaches that take advantage of instructional technology.
To test and evaluate several models for local and campus coordination of classroom support in order to help optimize future planning.
To provide a mechanism for faculty input and feedback in determining classroom needs, as well as rapid responses to faculty concerns and problems.
