Keeping Every Classroom Ready to Teach

The LAITS Classroom/AV Support team proactively maintains audio-visual systems across campus, checking rooms each morning before instructors arrive to ensure projectors, displays, audio equipment, and classroom computers are ready to go. When something goes wrong during a class, a trained technician can be dispatched immediately.

This service is owned and operated by Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services (LAITS). Enterprise Technology lists it here as part of the UT campus-wide service catalog to help faculty and instructors find the right support quickly.
