Theater PA replacement project
Hi Everyone,
I’m trying to initiate the process of replacing the PA system in our main campus auditorium. It’s a multi-use space that hosts concerts, dinners, lectures, dance parties, roller skating, etc.

We recently installed a…

Reply to Haze vs fog and sanitizer stations
Hi Gina,
A haze machine creates a finer particle mist for lack of a better explanation.

When the building opened in 1985 the spaces were managed and staffed by a department that until that time was tasked with providing portable sound systems to events around campus…

Hi Chelsee,
Can you elaborate on the copyright issue and who is making the argument? My (limited) understanding is that as long as you’re not advertising it as an event or collecting any kind of admission fee there’s no violation. Happy to learn more if that’s incorrect.
We get a campus wide cable bundle from Spectrum. In our…
