Mike K. is heading up renovations in the classroom
Tracy says: Typical classrooms I've seen recently have a screen, a good projector with a remote, and all the necessarily cables and adapters to plug in your computer to the projector. Alternatively we could have a classroom computer, but that doesn't help the folk who use an operating system or applications that the classroom computer doesn't have. A laptop that can be used for the classroom might be nice if someone doesn't have one or doesn't have PowerPoint or whatever other app they need to do their class. A set of reasonably decent speakers would also be nice if someone is showing a video or wants to use music, sound etc.
A podium where all those cables go and the laptop can be perched would be very helpful as well. Maybe one that can also store markers and other supplies in a cabinet underneath?
White boards, the paper flip charts that have Post-It adhesive at the top of each page, and tons of markers are always a huge plus in a classroom. OK, these aren't "A/V" in the techie sense, but they are certainly visual and certainly useful!
Classroom is a central area of the lab, with the majority of the air conditioning and an a/v setup to allow a group of people to be engaged in a classroom project, a collaborative effort, or an intense meeting/ gaming event. A large central whiteboard allows for lectures/ collaboration/ notes. This area can be closed off from the rest of the lab to allow for private meetings and classes, including private rentals.

The classroom is the location for our monthly meetings here at Familab; consult the calendar for details about the next meeting.
We also need a description and/or link for the a/v system and google chrome so that everyone does not need to go find someone to connect to the chrome cast or the wired connection.
The front facing projector will work on Chrome Cast which is included in the current version of Google Chrome browser. If you do not have chromecast as a symbol in the top right corner of your browser when you are on the FamiLAB Wifi, you can find Cast as an item by clicking on the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome, then select "Cast". YouTube also has its own cast option. Ask any member if you have questions about this process. If you ask enough of them, someone will know.
