Ongoing AV Projects
Below is a list of the requested projects currently being handled by our Audio Visual (AV) staff. This information is provided to give project requesters and other unit stakeholders visibility into our current workload and the status of each AV project.
Our AV team is steadily growing into a fully established group with the capability to support nearly any installation. As we continue to expand our capabilities, we are also navigating hardware lead times of approximately 4–6 months from many vendors.
If you have questions about a project or believe the status of your request is inaccurate, please contact us at engrit-help-av@illinois.edu.
