In addition to the technology classrooms, the Wehr Hall auditorium and the Conference Center have permanent projection systems with a computer, VCR, document camera, and a control system.

Each classroom on campus is wired for access to the campus network and the Internet. In addition, there are many wireless zones. A complete list of wireless zones and additional information is available at http://depts.alverno.edu/techserv/students/wireless/wireless.html.

All computers on campus are running Microsoft Office 2007 on the PCs and Office 2008 on the Macs.  Office 2007 documents will not open in Office 2003 unless the user has a compatibility pack installed or they are current in their Windows updates.  Converting from Office 2007 to 2003 might result in the loss of some formatting.  Options exist in Office 2007 to save as Office 2003 or a .pdf.
