in the training room. The projection room
doubles as a large equipment storage area
filled with interfacing, switching, and
distribution products, dedicated for class
demonstrations and hands-on exercises. The
training room is also equipped with a
Christie Digital Systems Vista X3 DLP front
projector system and a Stewart front
projection screen; both are concealed in the
false ceiling when not in use. The ceiling also
houses speakers and microphones to ensure
that everyone can clearly hear and be heard.
The sound insulation and acoustics in the
training room rival those in many movie
theaters. Walls, doors, and ceiling materials
were all selected for high sound
transmission class (STC) ratings, to ensure
that hallway traffic or activities in adjoining
rooms do not interfere with the training.
Even the slightly off-square shape of the
room and the staggered height of the false
ceiling panels were dictated by the concern
for proper acoustics. The lighting in the
training room is variable from a low, movie
theater level to bright, studio level lighting
suitable for videotaping training sessions.

The large volume of air between the
staggered false ceiling panels and the actual
ceiling of the room maximizes the students’
comfort and minimizes the distraction of
frequent air conditioner operation. The
instructor’s podium puts all the common
presentation and room control tools at the
instructor’s fingertips: a PC, a document
camera, a VCR, and a room control system.
Floor box connections at each desk provide
the capability for any attendee to plug in a
laptop computer and contribute to the
presentation. The room is furnished with
