Learning Space and Conference Room AV Equipment Installation & Maintenance

What is this Service? 

This service supports the installation and ongoing maintenance of physical web conferencing equipment in classrooms and conference rooms across Temple University campuses. Information Technology Services (ITS) oversees the coordination with university-approved AV integrators, ensuring that systems are installed professionally, meet department needs, and remain operational through the warranty period.

Who is Eligible to use it?

This service is available to Temple University departments and academic/administrative units managing or using conference or classroom spaces.

How do I Request it?

Departments interested in installing or maintaining web conferencing hardware should submit a request on the right. ITS will initiate a project consultation to assess the space, coordinate bidding from approved integrators, and manage installation from start to signoff. For maintenance requests, ITS provides second-tier support to validate issues and coordinate service visits with integrators.
