  • Incredible!

    I recently found the podcast and started at the beginning. I work in Higher Ed as an AV Engineer, PM, and control systems programmer. It’s refreshing to hear we have the same struggles as others and listen to their experiences.

Q: What is the most important function of an AV/IT-enabled space in higher education from an architect's perspective?
