Technology

Classrooms & Labs

Simmons has created an environment where every teaching space is potentially a technology-enabled space. As described (below) on this page, many classrooms have built-in equipment:

After you schedule your classroom through the Registrar's Office (617-521-2111), check the summaries below to see what technology has been permanently installed. From there you can work with Media Services to schedule any additional technology not already installed. If you are scheduled to use a meeting room or event space, please see our Events page. If you do not see your room listed here or on the Technology in Events Spaces page, please contact Media Services (617-521-2765) so we can help you determine what can be delivered to your space.

Please complete a request form to inform Media Services of your intended technology use, even if you intend to only use technology that is permanently installed.
