Abstract | This paper gives an overview of the Media Equipped Classroom (MEC) program at the State University of New York at Buffalo. In 1988 a study was undertaken to explore alternate ways of providing media equipment services to classrooms at the university. The traditional (current) model of delivery and set-up of audiovisual equipment, relying upon individual requests of faculty, was recognized to be labor intensive and no longer efficient or effective, given the large volume of work orders processed every year. A task force was established to plan to permanently install media equipment into approximately 50 centrally scheduled classrooms and lecture halls over the next 3-5 years as a means of eliminating some of the problems and inefficiencies of the existing model. Topics covered in this paper include the rationale for change; standards for student viewing; the MEC model; basic equipment needs; security, voice, and data considerations; MEC cabinet design; faculty input and acceptance; Phase I of the MEC program; and an evaluation of the three classrooms set up in Phase I. Specific criteria used in the selection, implementation, and evaluation of Phase I are included. Drawings and layouts of the classrooms and lecture halls before and after set-up of the MEC, designs of the stacked media cabinets, media control cabinets, and projection pedestals are appended.
