Who we are and what we do...
The Classroom Technologies division of CITES plays a unique role in serving the faculty and administration of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In meeting the needs of the university community, ClassTech provides creative, technical, and consulting services in an effort to achieve the primary objective of strengthening the teaching-learning process.
In support of faculty and administration at UIUC, ClassTech also provides consultation services to departments on equipment purchases and installations, and requirements for appropriate facilities, technology and support. When appropriate, we coordinate resources including contacting qualified vendors or rental equipment.
ClassTech has designed and installed many different audiovisual packages across campus, from a simple LCD projector with an accessible interface to an elaborate 400-seat lecture hall. If your department or college would like more information on how we can install and maintain your AV technology, please call 333-0506 or email classtech@illinois.edu.
