The department’s seminar room (499 DSL) received an extensive equipment and technology upgrade in 2017, with the last phase of the renovation completed in early January 2018. The new upgrades include an advanced viswall system, an Epson laser projector, and two NEC monitors for clear viewing throughout the room. All those who use room 499 to give presentations on the viswall will be able to use the wireless AirMedia AM-101 presentation gateway. With AirMedia, faculty, staff, & students (connected to FSUSecure) can wirelessly present content via their laptop or mobile device. Our seminar room now offers a wider array of input connections, making presentations universal, fast, and easy.
