Rooms B and C in the Graduate Life Center are configured to serve a multitude of needs, from course instruction, to dissertation defense, to graduate community gatherings.

The technology available in the space allows for ambient music to be played for gatherings, huddle meetings, presentation, and Zoom meetings via the Zoom Room interface.

Audio Only

Use cases include music during a gathering or prior to a discussion style meeting/gathering.
To play audio, simply connect a 3.5mm (aka headphone) cable from your device to the wall plate.  Volume control is done via the labeled knob on the wall plate. See below for what to expect in the room.
