Classrooms

Standard Classroom Equipment

Classrooms are all equipped with a computer, a medium for display, web camera, whiteboards, as well as an overhead projector. For assistance with equipment or supplies for classrooms please call (330) 672-2970 or go to the Tech Office (209 White Hall).

If there is something you would like for a class, such as a document camera (also known as a digital presenter), mobile computer lab, SmartBoard, etc., please contact the friendly staff of the IRC and we will do our best to accommodate your classroom needs.

Computer Labs

There are four computer labs for classroom instruction:

  • 203 (Mac Lab)
  • 205 (Windows Lab)
  • 211 (Windows Lab)
  • 221B (Windows Lab located in the back of the IRC)

Computer labs are available for open lab when not occupied by a class. They also have the same hours of operation as the IRC.

Students are able to use the computer lab in the IRC (221 White Hall) at any time during operating hours. The computers are on a first-come basis. This lab has 15 Dell and 5 Macintosh computers. Also available are 3 scanners and poster printing ($6.00/ft, plus tax).

All labs have the capability to print to a black-and-white lab printer (FlashCard at $0.07 a page, cash at $0.10 plus tax a page). The color printer is located in 221 WTH and students need to either email the print job (including how many copies, how they plan to pay, and when they plan to pick them up) to ircehhs@kent.edu or put the file on a flash drive and bring it to the IRC ($0.40/page, plus tax).

For more information about classroom equipment, please contact Julee Henry (Jahenry2@kent.edu). 

Portable Devices

Dell/MacBook Laptop Cart

The laptop cart is delivered and picked up from classrooms. All laptops connect to the internet via wireless cards and print to the computer labs/IRC via Uniprint.

Microsoft Surface Hub

The Surface Hub is ideal for hybrid meetings, where individuals will meet face-to-face and some will meet on Microsoft Teams. To learn more about the Surface Hub, visit:

The mobile carts are ideal when labs are booked but you need computers for a short-term project in your classroom. Mobile carts cannot be reserved for an entire semester. If you need computers on a regular basis, please reserve a classroom computer lab through your school scheduler.  To schedule the laptop cart or Surface Hub, please contact a member of the IRC staff at 330-672-2353 or ircehhs@kent.edu.
