AV Facilities

Computing and Information Services (CIS) is responsible for providing audio visual equipment in centrally timetabled rooms throughout the University. The purpose of this equipment is to provide teaching staff with appropriate, good quality, reliable and easy to use facilities giving a modern teaching/learning environment which will help in the delivery of their particular subject matter.

Most centrally timetabled rooms at both Durham and Queen's benefit from permanently installed standard AV equipment however, should extra non-standard equipment be required then please contact  IT Service Desk (Ext: 41515 or email itservicedesk@durham.ac.uk), at least 24hrs in advance.

The IT Service Desk is the initial point of contact for ALL matters relating to audio visual equipment.  

Advice and Training

Although the AV equipment has been installed with ease of use in mind, we realise that individual members of staff may require additional training. You can get further training by either attending one of our standard IT courses or approaching the IT Service Desk (Ext: 41515 or email itservicedesk@durham.ac.uk) to request individual or tailor-made training.  Further details of current courses can be found on our online Training System  via the 'IT' link. Whatever your query or request about the AV equipment, contact us and we will do our best to help.
