Seminar Room (HIL Room 109)
The Seminar Room is found in Room 109 of HIL.
This facility is designed for small, interactive groups. It offers 10 student workstations comprised of a Dell PC with a CD-ROM drive, a sound card, USB ports, and a 17" digital flat panel monitor. Individual speakers and headphones are not supplied. Internet connectivity is provided through the UNB TCP/IP network, allowing access to all university UNIX and Novell servers. Printing is done through the student network, using the print credit system, with print jobs collected at the back of the room.
The student workstations are positioned in a horseshoe pattern around the perimeter. Two tables with available seating for up to 12 are located in the centre of the room, enabling mixed sessions involving individual hands-on computer use, round-table discussions, or presentations. Total room capacity is 22, depending on intended use.
The Seminar Room podium is equipped with a Dell PC that is connected to a SMART Board, wireless keyboard, and wireless mouse. A presentation remote, flip chart, portable whiteboard, overhead projector, DVD and VCR player, and VGA connector for MacBooks are available upon request.
The SMART Board accessories (markers, cables, etc.) are stored in the podium. A key to the podium is available from Grace Martin (453-4729 or emartin@unb.ca in the Periodical Office (next to the Seminar Room). If Grace Martin is unavailable, ask at the Research Help Desk on the main floor.
