Van Hise Construction Impact on AV Pool Service

Due to Van Hise construction the AV Pool will be temporarily modifying its services for the Fall 2021 semester. 

Short-term equipment checkouts are available, but may be in limited quantities. 

To assist courses normally scheduled in Van Hise Hall we are offering extended loan periods for computers, adapters, and projectors to instructors placed in rooms without technology. This equipment is subject to availability and AV Pool Manager discretion.

During regular operations the AV Pool provides a wide range of technology at no cost to Letters & Science departments and programs for short-term instructional use.

Location

The AV Pool is located in 259A Van Hise Hall adjacent to the commons area on the second floor.

Hours

All hours are subject to change without notice.

Fall 2021 Semester Hours:

8:30am – 4pm, Monday – Friday

Due to construction there may be times when the AV Pool is not directly staffed. Please see Ken Fager in 271 Van Hise Hall or schedule an appointment via avpool@lss.wisc.edu.

8-Week Summer Session Hours:

8:00am – 4pm, Monday – Friday.

The AV Pool is closed during Spring Break, Summer Break, Winter Break and major American holidays.
