9. Integration of Form with Function ADA REQUIREMENTS NEW CODE ISSUES ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY ERGONOMICS

10. Seamless Integration of Technology and Facility

11. The Most Dreaded Phrases in a Project We have it under control It’s a coordination issue Sounds like a change order The slab is being poured tomorrow Floor box…what floor box ? Ya..controlled lighting….On/Off What !…You want a projector where that sprinkler head is Why is furniture part of the technology budget?

12. Development Time Lines Never too Early to begin planning for Technology • Program • Budget • Architect • Technology Consultant • Design Build Firm Program Budget Architect Tech Con Installer

13. Time Lines and Process In the beginning….. Understanding the Big Picture Development of a Program Budget Development Design Equipment List Transferring the Technology Plan to Mechanical and Electrical Needs Installation Acceptance

14. Time Lines and Process In the beginning….. Involvement Decisions with little Or no information And the magic number is….. Critical Time

15. Time Lines and Process Understanding the Big Picture • Architecture / Infrastructure • Room Ergonomics • Budget • Coordination of Tech and Environment • Pedagogical Considerations • Training / People • Staffing • On going maintenance / upgrades • We will get back to those !!!

16. Pedagogy Technology Time Lines and Process Who’s Driving The Plan

17. Time Lines and Process Development of a Program • How the space is to be used • Connectivity between spaces • Shared resources • Desired technology formats • Video applications • General functionality……….

18. 90 MHz vs. 90 Mb/s Videoconferencing • Analog Video Signal = 90 MHz • Digital Video Signal = 90 Mb/s Video Signal vs. Transmission Rate

19. Videoconferencing • T1 or Fractional T1 (H.320) • ISDN (H.320) • PRI (H.320) • IP (H.323) Video Signal vs. Transmission Rate

20. Compression Ratio Data Rate Video Quality 90 Mb/s No Compression Broadcast Quality 45 Mb/s 2:1 Broadcast Quality 1.544 Mb/s 60:1 Near Broadcast Quality 768 kb/s 120:1 Compression Noticeable with Excessive Motion 384 kb/s 240:1 Compression Obvious, but Still Very Usable 112 kb/s 800:1 Good Quality for Face to Face Meetings Videoconferencing

21. Time Lines and Process Who Owns the Classroom? • Facilities • Academics • The Registrar • IT • Some Combination • Somebody will need to maintain to the room.

22. Time Lines and Process Budget Development Agreeing on what is in the technology budget • Furniture • Computer • Voice/Data • Electric • Cooling • ADA Requirement • Consulting Fees • Oh Ya….A/V equipment…..

23. Time Lines and Process Design Little of this a little of that

24. Time Lines and Process Equipment List • Control Considerations • Who owns the Code • 4x3 vs. 16x9 • Digital Consideration • Video Storage • IP based equipment • Wireless considerations

25. Control Systems

26. Screens http://www.projectionscreens.com.au/

27. Screens Size Rules of Thumb • Max Viewing Distance • Video = 10-12 x Image Height • Data = 6-8 x Image Height • Min Viewing Distance • Video and Data = 2 X Image Height • Bottom of Screen should be 3.5’ to 4’ above the floor. • http://www.ustechelectronics.com/choosing.html • Manual v. Electric 16x9 / 4x3 • Tension Tab • Screen Gain

28. Data/Video Projectors • Manufacturers • LCD v. DLP • Brightness • Resolution • Size • Noise www.projectorcentral.com

29. Time Lines and Process Transferring the Technology Plan to Mechanical and Electrical Needs

30. “The Point Being” Early Technology Program Development followed by CAREFUL Infrastructure Planning can help assure A Seamless Integration of Technology and Facility

31. Time Lines and Process Installation • Time line coordination of installation and classroom schedule • Integration of Equipment • Management of the installation • Fit and Finish inspections

32. Time Lines and Process Acceptance • Walk through • Control Layout • Testing of All components • Punch list

33. Time Lines and Process Understanding the Big Picture • Training / People • Staffing • On going maintenance / upgrades ICIA
