Event / meeting organizers are responsible for positioning the wall as needed before their event, and returning the wall to the state shown below so it is ready for classes.

Spring 2024:

OB226: Partition wall will be closed/down at all times.  Please be prepared to open the wall if your event requires the entire space, and close it again when finished.

OB150 and OB436: There are various classrooms throughout the week requiring the electronic room dividers to be moved.  Please be prepared to open/close the wall as required.

• OB150: Monday/Wednesday/Friday should start with divider UP and end with divider DOWN. Tuesday/Thursday should start with divider DOWN and end with divider UP.
• OB436: Monday/Wednesday/Friday should start with divider UP and end with divider DOWN. Tuesday/Thursday should start with divider DOWN and end with divider UP.

Important: When the wall is open, panels must be "stored" only against the exterior (west) wall of the room.  Only that side has the proper structural supports for the weight of the wall when opened.

On the far end of most floors and in the cafe, there are huddle areas with display screens.
The display screens allow students or staff to connect a laptop either via the HDMI cable or via Crestron AirMedia.  Follow the instructions on the screen to use AirMedia to wirelessly share your screen from your laptop.  You may need to use the small Crestron control panel to switch between AirMedia and HDMI.  Huddle areas play digital signage messages when not in use, and will reset to digital signage each morning.
