Presentation System Planning and Design
Classroom Technical Services can handle both large and small projects, and can
be contracted to participate in long-range planning, providing expertise in the direction and implementation
of educational presentation technology systems at the University of Minnesota in both remodeling and new construction
projects. CTS works with individual customer departments and with
University planners and project managers on a regular basis to implement infrastructure and hardware systems that capitalize on benefits
of system uniformity and standardization.
CTS creates conduit and infrastructure requirements for construction documents through Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawings.
CTS provides University Design and Document review and Construction Standards development.
Classroom Technical Services (CTS)
Design Engineers will help clients design presentation systems
from conception to conclusion, developing required
documents and providing consultation and analysis.
They help clients develop media system
designs and assist planners with requirements,
specifications, and cost estimates. Building conduit
and infrastructure requirements are created for
construction documents.
CTS Design Engineers developed
the University
Projection
Capable Classroom Standard for the Office
of Classroom Management as a model system based
on ergonomic and practical design principles,
including issues of usability, affordability,
reliability, flexibility, and modular design.
Its widespread acceptance by faculty typifies
the high level of performance and value delivered
by CTS products and staff.
Additionally, engineers design specialized systems for classrooms, conference rooms, videoconferencing and interactive television facilities, specialized technology teaching rooms, computer simulation environments, integrated video production/teaching environments, and hearing assist, as well as dynamic digital signage systems.
Skilled CTS Engineers participate on a national level on presentation technology
issues, attending seminars, making presentations, and maintaining cutting-edge knowledge of hardware,
software, and the marketplace.
CTS meets regularly with manufacturers for new equipment demonstration
and testing.
