A versatile space for classes, conferences
and special events

The Julius Glickman Conference Center was made possible by a donation from one of UT’s most distinguished alums, and it continues to be a multifaceted resource for the UT College of Liberal Arts and its clients.

The LAITS Technology Integration design team collaborated with the LAITS Classroom Support and Studio Operations teams to determine the audiovisual needs of clients using the Glickman. The suite would need to be adaptable to a wide range of uses, including classes, meetings, and conferences. The diversity of clientele required interfaces with straightforward, versatile operation. The Classroom Support team would train users and maintain the AV equipment installed. The Studio Operations team would produce and record live events.
