Request a New Project

learning space technology a/v request process

The Learning Space Technology Team provides in-house audiovisual installation and support for the University. To request a quote for an audiovisual or digital signage need, please follow the steps below.

  1. Submit Project Request
    The Needs Analysis Form collects information to help our team understand the need and who will provide financial support and sign-off for the project.
  2. Initial Meeting
    A member from our A/V Integration team will contact the project requestor to set up an onsite meeting to discuss space requirements and any special equipment needs for the project in order to provide a high-level quote estimate.
  3. Approval Email
    After the meeting, our team will send an automated approval email through Smartsheet with a high-level budget based on historical projects. The email will be sent to the “Project Approver” listed on the request form.
  4. Final Quote
    Upon approval of the high-level estimate, our team will contact vendors for exact material pricing and send an updated final quote for signature, date, and fund/account information
  5. Follow-Up
    Once a project has been approved, our department will proceed with the following steps:
    • Order Materials: Once we receive the signed quote with fund/account information, we will proceed with ordering all materials. It may take up to 8 weeks for all materials to arrive.
    • Power and Data Needs: We will submit tickets to FM and OneIT to install any necessary power and data requirements.
    • Project Scheduling: We will begin the installation phase as soon as all materials have been received and the job site is ready for installation.

When are Project Requests Submitted and Accepted?

The Learning Space Technology Team accepts projects using fiscal year (FY) funds in early August. The project intake deadline is typically mid to late March.

FY25 Audiovisual Project Deadline

FY25 project intake is currently closed to allow for component procurement and installation before the fiscal year end. New requests submitted now will be addressed on a first-come, first-served basis starting in the Fall. Approved projects will continue as scheduled.

How are A/V Projects Funded?

It depends on who “owns” the space. In “Registrar-controlled” spaces, the Learning Space Technology team maintains A/V systems, and equipment updates are funded through the Division of Academic Affairs. For all other spaces, the college, unit, or department that “owns” the space is responsible when updates to the A/V systems or computers are needed. To get that upgrade started, units should follow the process outlined above and complete the Needs Analysis Form.

How can I Distinguish Registrar-Controlled Spaces from  Departmentally Owned Ones?

The easiest way to differentiate room types is by the room code. Registrar-controlled rooms are designated with a room category of “110”. Lab spaces are most often labeled “210”.  Room codes can be found in Archibus and 25Live.

The “110” category classroom facilities are classified as an institution-wide resource, even though they may fall under different levels of organizational control. A “110 Classroom” is a room used for classes not tied to a specific subject or discipline and are also known as “Registrar controlled classrooms”. The responsibility for A/V systems and equipment updates in these rooms lies with the Learning Space Technology team and Academic Affairs.

The “210” category classrooms are subject-specific or discipline-specific. We refer to these spaces as “departmentally owned” and “departmentally funded” from an A/V support perspective. The college, unit, or department that owns the space should use the Needs Analysis Request Process when updates to the A/V systems or PCs are required.  The Classroom Support Team provides technical support for these rooms at no cost to the college or department.

Needs Analysis Form

The Needs Analysis Request Form is used to request A/V integration services for labs, conference rooms, offices, digital signage, and other University spaces that are not “owned” or financially covered by our team. The Learning Space Technology Team is responsible for the ongoing replacement and maintenance of all Registrar-controlled classrooms.
