Upgrade academic equipment - Liberal Arts Print All

Initiative Title	Upgrade academic equipment - Liberal Arts
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Current equipment in the VisCom Lab (Smartboard) no longer functions, thereby hampering teaching and learning. HA 113 art classroom has never been equipped with adequate drafting tables for students. Current tables are "hand-me-downs" from architecture program. HP LaserJet printer currently used in Visual Communications lab is no longer efficient or cost-effective. The print quality has deteriorated and the toner cartridges are exorbitantly expensive. Our current lighting system is thirty years old. Changing the lighting effects as requested by most if not all of our rental customers is time and personnel intensive. Modern LED architectural lights, the industry standard, can provide enhanced effects. The new system will be energy efficient and yield 70% savings in electricity. Computers that are currently in the TV Studio are unable to meet the video editing needs of the classes offered. Computers are slow, crash regularly, and hamper teaching and learning. PCs do not handle very large files as well as Macs, the industry standard. Working on Macs will better prepare students for transfer and careers. Chalk boards are outdated. While the Newburgh Campus has white boards - which are far easier for instructors to use - many of the Middletown Campus classrooms continue to have only chalk boards, which are not as clean or easy to use. The addition of smart seating will facilitate class discussions as well as make students more comfortable - and therefore more likely to learn. Smart projectors would minimize the time in which an instructor's back is to the class. Additionally, many instructors frequently show PPTs, slides, notes, movies, clips, etc...; HDMI projectors and room-darkening shades would enhance students' ability to see what is projected on the board.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	We will be unable to offer Visual Communications courses. Tables will remain inadequate for student work and seating capacity / class caps are limited. Courses offered in OH 39 and 33 will be adversely affected. The cost of cartridge and component replacement will remain high. Cost of electricity will remain high. Potential customers will seek other venues that are able to meet their requirements. Theatrical productions will be sub-standard. We will not be able to run the TV production classes effectively thereby reducing our level of service to students. Our immediate need is the computer replacement initiative, but we have ongoing need for maintenance and replacement of other equipment. Instructors have issues with technology and the lack of it. Without updating, instructors will not be as able to meet the diverse and changing needs of our student population.
