Reserving the Maude Fife Room

Description

The Maude Fife Room (315 Wheeler Hall) is a 2,010 square feet room, arranged in a theater style with detached wooden chairs and with a maximum occupancy of 100 persons. There is a stage 2 feet high, 31 and 1/2 feet long, and 7 feet deep.

Audio / Video Capability

The stage is furnished with a podium (with reading light and microphone). The room is equipped with a distributive sound system over eight ceiling speakers. It has five microphones in all:  the lectern mic and four table mics, one of which doubles as a hand-held mic. The table mics need to be charged beforehand, so please mention if you'll be needing them.

The room has a video projection system. Video options include a blu ray player that can also play DVDs and CDs. Controls for the projector and blu ray player are located on the wall, just to the left of the AV rack (on the right side of the stage). Laptops can be connected to the AV system via HDMI or VGA cables located in the podium.
