UCR has a Multimedia and Classroom Technology Department.
If you are looking for an audiovisual upgrade or audiovisual parts, please go to multimedia.ucr.edu and fill out the form, selecting installation as the drop-down. There are campus standards, and UCR’s Multimedia group can assess and guide you based on your needs. Multimedia will follow up with you and include any other trades that need to be involved, such as network, carpenters, electricians, etc.
Note: Extron is the campus standard for controlling A/V.
Once you have consulted the Multimedia Department, they may suggest using one of the UCOP contracts for audio-visual parts and installation.
