TECHNOLOGY
Technology improvements in the last three academic years:
With the opening of the new Rafik B. Hariri business school building this fall, there have been many technology enhancements. The Technology Center now supports 15 new classrooms equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual technologies and disabled access tools. They can record and display coordinated voice, computer input, and HD video from the podium. Two classrooms have built-in IP and ISDN video-teleconferencing. In all, the tech center has installed and supports AV display equipment in 77 rooms, including 36 student break-out rooms and three specially equipped IT resource rooms. The new building also has a 400-seat auditorium complete with remote connections capability and HD presentation. The new building also includes a new, specially designed server room. Other improvements include: expanded research databases, including CRSP and Thompsons Financial data services; expanded Bloomberg access from two to 12 terminals; centralized “follow-you” printing; a 100% increase in student e-mail storage space to 200 MB; laptop training and maintenance support and PDA support; streaming video infrastructure; Web conferencing support through Elluminate; free video-teleconferencing services; enhanced remote connectivity, Sharepoint, and IPrint Internet printing services; remote file storage; enhanced network infrastructure with a new IBM blade server and Linux OS; increased full-time staff by 50%, new Web page; virtual tape library backup technology; and an event management system for managing all rooms within the new Hariri Building.
