On the Chicago campus, the Wieboldt Hall 421 room also has videoconferencing integrated with a projector and plasma displays, high definition cameras, speakers and ceiling microphones. This room was upgraded over summer of 2007 and is proving to be a well designed and reliable videoconference room for A&RT and the University. With regular use of this room, we continue to make sure it is in good working condition and are present to assist with getting videoconferences started as well as testing with other sites beforehand.
