Media-Enhanced Classroom Systems

All Alma College classrooms are Media-Enhanced. The exceptions to this are Dow L-3 and SAC 205. Equipment is accessible with either a building key or a classroom key for the building it is housed in. Dow L-1 and L-4 have a Crestron Control System that controls all functions of the Media Cart and Projector. An Extron Control System controls the other classrooms. Instruction is required before use of Media Enhanced classrooms. Please be sure to shut off all equipment and lock cabinet when your class is finished. If you need a portable computer projection system you can reserve one through Media Services.

PRISM is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
