The BohH 90 equipment key may be requested by departments or by faculty teaching in BohH 90.
Classroom keys and building master keys do not open these locks. Departments with faculty or staff needing access to the AV /computer equipment may want to have a key in their department office available for checkout. Or faculty and staff who make frequent use of classroom equipment may want to request a key for their personal use. In either case, a key request card must be completed, signed by the Dean or Department Head, and delivered to Facilities Management Key Shop. "AV Cabinets" must be printed at the top of the card to specify that the requested key is for the equipment cabinet and not for the room itself. A separate key request card for the room must be completed to obtain a room key.

The projector provides the best picture quality and brightness in a dark or dimly lit room. The lighting control switches are located on the right front wall of the room near the exit. To dim the front of the room while leaving adequate lighting for the students to take notes, turn off all but the back row of lights. Turn off the switches labeled "stage ceiling lights", "ceiling front", and "ceiling dimmer relay". You might want to experiment to find the best lighting option for your purposes.
