New Classrooms: New Technology

Plans are in full swing to expand the Capital campus by 40,000 square feet on the 10th and 11th floors. New space means new classrooms, and new classrooms mean updated instructional technology. Powerful annotation capabilities will be added at the instructor's station, allowing the presenter to draw, point, highlight, or add text to any image projected on the screen (similar to telestrators used in sports broadcasting). Other upgrades include a new compact touchpanel control center for powering up the projector and selecting sources, digital laptop connections, document cameras with preview monitors, and dedicated DVD players.
