Jones 203

This space features a QSC control panel mounted to the ew podium that allows for easy volume, camera, and display controls. Facing the students is a pair of large whiteboards with another to their right. The larger of the two print white boards offers a surface for the room's touch capable projector to display, the room's second projector is aimed higher and is it not on a white board, nor does it have touch integration. Mounted on the far wall, behind the students, is an AVer PTZ camera. Mounted in the ceiling is a Shure Microphone Array Tile, making this space fully Zoom capable.
