  2. Background • UCR received a large donation in support of a new campus in Palm Desert (Palm Springs area) • Design and Construction carried out the design and recommendation process for building, furniture, landscaping and AV • Computing was given a copy of the AV consultant’s recommendations on the new campus technology • The technology plan was extremely limited • AVC-Computing challenged the recommendation by having the computing team generate a UCR design of the AV, phones and network

  3. Objective • Build a campus with a standard suite of presentation technology • The technology must be supported via the network • All rooms need videoconferencing devices

  4. Why are we doing this? • New Remote Campus • 45 minute drive • No Provision for Technical Staff • Campus Focus • Entrepreneurial Center for Management. • Mostly Professional Students • New Campus is still being built

  5. Heckmann ConstructionTo be Completed March 2005
