[msu_ops] some updates!

Hi everyone,

 

For Fall 06, there will be some new looks in the building! Hopefully, some
of these items will make the union better for students and our constituency.

 

MPR Chairs! That’s right, we got some new chairs in 218! These chairs are
similar to the chairs in the cub café and are green. Your votes do matter
and your votes were for green “is what we got” (Sublime riff, please). These
chairs stack easy and are easier to line up a row since the legs are flush
rather than staggered like the old chairs. The challenge is the storage of
these chairs. The chairs will most likely be able to be stored in the closet
of the MPR WITH the existing wooden chairs (approx 255 of them). There will
be diagrams on the door how to arrange the chairs for accessibility to both
types of chairs. The wooden chairs will be reupholstered and used for
banquests and special events while everything else will be for the new
chairs.

 

We received two new printers for the computer lab and will be receiving a
new table for the printers. The printers are set up on a “printer pool”
meaning that a print job can get sent to any of the printers. These printers
also use different toner then the old printers. Another note is the
printer/paper usage form will now disappear as it is easier to track the
usage from our end.

 

AMX upgrade in the Alumni Auditorium. There were some small changes in the
AMX system in the auditorium. The first being the casters on the lectern
have locks in the front, so you can use your foot rather than crawling under
the lectern. We also are using a new battery in the touchpanel, coupled with
a cleaning of the programming code allowed the system to be more reliable.
Hitting “PC” will turn on the projector and change the display to the PC.
The default for the projector is the PC. If the VPU is turned on manually,
you may need to wait 30 seconds to control the unit (it thinks it’s warming
up). Yes, I put in work orders for the egress lighting that is out


 

The construction in room 250 is underway to install a floating ceiling
including a built-in screen and built-in VPU. The VPU is as bright as the
MPR’s VPU and considering how much smaller the screen will be; it should be
very bright! 

 

Finally, there will be some exciting departmental changes for the future.

 

Thanks for everything
