Classroom Support

The majority of the classrooms in the Art Building and Art Annex, 45 of the 48 classrooms, are designated by UNT as Specialized Class Laboratory, Type 210, supported by the College of Visual Arts and Design.

Reserve a Laptop Cart: If you are an instructor needing to reserve a laptop cart to be used in your classroom, you may make a reservation. 

Check out Equipment: You can check out equipment for your classes.

Two Types of Instructional Spaces

What are Type 110 General Use Classrooms? Type 110 classrooms are designated by UNT as discipline-independent, meaning they do not contain any discipline-specific hardware or equipment. General Use Classrooms are centrally managed by the campus and are equipped with the campus standard audio-visual equipment, creating a consistent experience across these spaces for instructors and students.

What are Type 210 Specialized Class Labs? About half of the scheduled instructional spaces at the University of North Texas are designated as specialized class laboratories. The other half of the instructional spaces are General Use Classrooms.

Type 210, differ from the General Use Classrooms in that they are equipped with technology, equipment, and services that serve the needs of a particular discipline. A specialized class laboratory is supported by the local support group of the college that offers the courses taught in these spaces — for CVAD, that means CVAD IT Services. The local support group also provides the support to the instructors who teach courses in these spaces, and manages the specialized equipment used throughout the college. This provides a consistent experience for instructors and students with technology, resources, and services across all of the spaces within the college and allows us to provide a high-level of support with the best possible response and resolution times when an issue occurs or an instructor requests assistance.
