Audio/Visual and Smart Room Access Requests

Most classrooms on the Evanston and Chicago campus have TV/VCRs and overhead projectors available. Requests for additional equipment, or a Smart Classroom (technology-enhanced classroom), must be made well in advance of the start of the quarter. Last-minute requests are difficult to fulfill.

To request a Smart room or other room needs, please complete the A/V and Room Request Form (PDF Format). If you have questions, please contact the SCS help desk at scshelp@northwestern.edu or (312) 503-2399.

To view a list of equipment in Smart classrooms, go to www.at.northwestern.edu/ctg/classrooms.

The Smart Room Help number is (847) 467-ROOM (7666).

Chicago Campus

All classrooms on the Chicago campus, including Smart Classrooms, are unlocked 30 minutes prior to class start time by SCS. No keys are needed. Call (312) 503-2399 for questions regarding equipment on the Chicago Campus.

Loop Campus

All Loop classrooms are Smart rooms and are opened by SCS. Keys are not needed. Call (312) 503-3838 for questions regarding equipment in the Loop building.

Evanston Campus

If your class is scheduled in a Smart Classroom in a building on the Evanston campus, you must obtain your podium key, which unlocks the equipment, from the Registrar's Office in the Rebecca Crown Building. You are responsible for signing out your own key, and you must return the key at the end of the quarter. Hours at the Registrar's Office are Monday through Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm. Contact the Registrar's Office at (847) 467-7866.

To open other classrooms in Evanston, you must contact the building in which your class is scheduled. Please to make arrangements with the building staff before 5:00pm, as none of these departments have support staff after 5:00pm except for Kresge's multi-media lab. The multi-media lab is in room 1-335 (bottom level of Kresge). Contacts are:
