During the last three years, SMU Cox has undergone a classroom technology renovation. Classroom systems were standardized; DVD players were introduced into all classrooms; new teaching lecterns were custom built; projectors were replaced with new higher lumen projectors; the entire a/v infrastructure was upgraded, and touchpad interfaces were improved.
