A meeting room that fits up to 12 persons is located on the main floor of the Library Learning Commons in room LLC 122. Users are required to book the room in advance and pick up the key from the Circulation Desk to access the meeting room.
The meeting room LLC 122 is equipped with a computer that displays on two opposing 65” screens, offering maximum visibility to all its users. The multimedia equipment in this room is operated from a Crestron touch panel similar to the ones found in the classrooms. The room is also equipped with a webcam/microphone allowing its users to connect with participants off campus through Teams.
The room is equipped with a special videoconferencing microphone and webcam which allows all people sitting around the table to be included at the same time. The camera uses facial recognition to automatically detect where you are sitting, and combines multiple angles together into one webcam output for your meetings.
