MIT classrooms are designed for and dedicated to the Institute’s educational mission and objectives. While they are available for use by student organizations, these uses are limited and all users must abide by all Registrar’s Office equipment policies when using classrooms.
Sound
- Contact MIT AV Services to use the classroom’s sound system.
- Submit a plan for approval to the Schedules Office at schedules@mit.edu if you will be recording the program or using sound equipment including, but not limited to, main speaker arrays, monitor speakers, mixing consoles, and/or snakes for connecting the system.
- If you intend to use a mixing console in the seating area, you must protect the seats with quilted material, moving pads, or similar.
- You may not hang microphones from pipes or ceiling fixtures, and you may not secure microphone stands by attaching cables to adjacent chairs.
- Secure all cables using nonstick gaffer’s tape to ensure safety of participants and to avoid damaging surfaces or leaving residue.
Lighting
- Only the classroom lighting is allowed. You may not use additional lighting, including trees, spotlights, hanging lights, or similar.
- If your program requires a lighting scheme, please contact the CAC for a more appropriate venue.
Staging
- Staging (e.g. platforms, risers, flats) and hanging materials are not allowed.
- You may use easels or a freestanding poster system to display information inside the room or at the entrance.
