Physical Access

The 138 AER space is used for course instruction, special events, tutoring, and open lab. To protect the integrity of devices used in support of courses, the space will only be accessible under the following circumstances:

  1. An authorized instructor, staff member, lab proctor, tutor, or person responsible for a reservation, is present in the space for the duration of the session.

  2. An authorized instructor, staff member, lab proctor, tutor, or person responsible for a reservation will ensure that all attendees exit the room and that doors are locked at the end of the allotted time.

  3. Card lock access will only be granted to instructors teaching in the space, administrative, maintenance, and technical staff, University officials, lab proctors, tutors, and individuals reserving the space.

  4. Card lock access for instructors, lab proctors, and tutors will expire at the end of each semester and must be renewed.

Audio/Visual Presentation System

The 138 AER space is equipped with an audio/visual presentation system. This system is to be used only for course instruction and event presentations. It is not to be used for entertainment or gaming. The system is not to be used during tutoring and/or open lab sessions.

The system is locked by a code which can be given to authorized instructors and event presenters. The code can be received from LCSEE Systems via web form request.

Technical support and video recording scheduling for the system is provided by LCSEE Systems.

The room camera, microphones, and audio system are set up in an “always on” state even if the presentation displays appear to be off.

Features of the A/V Presentation system and instructions for use can be found on the LCSEE Systems website.
