Borrowing Portable Equipment
To arrange for use of classroom media equipment, call 650-3300 or stop by our Equipment Loan Desk in Miller Hall 155. We will assist you in determining the most convenient way to obtain equipment on the day you need it. Pick up locations are Miller Hall155, and other self-service media closets located in most academic buildings.
Located in Miller Hall 155, the Equipment Loan Desk is the central location for all of ATUS Classroom Services. Here you can pick up equipment you have reserved, arrange for access to Media Closets and cabinets, and request training on equipment use, classroom orientation or assistance.
Our goal is to make equipment available to as many people as possible throughout each day. You can assist by picking up and returning equipment on time, and by contacting us in advance if you will be canceling your reservation.
Delivery & Setup
Hopefully, your technology needs have been met by being placed in classrooms equipped at the level you requested through the Registrar's Classroom Scheduling system. However, if equipment is not close at hand, you can reserve portable equipment from ATUS Classroom Services and either pick it up at your convenience, or call us in advance to arrange for delivery to a media closet or a classroom.
Self-Service Media Closets
To make portable equipment easily accessible, we store some TV/VCR carts, slide projectors, extra bulbs, marker pens, and PRS transmitters in Media Closets in most academic buildings.
You will need a media key in order to access and return the equipment. At Communications Facility, you will need prox card authorization. Please call 650-3300 to reserve closet equipment and obtain your media key or to request prox card access.
