Office of Classroom Management

• Classroom Technical Services (CTS) has officially kicked off the Summer Life Cycle 23 Installation Extravaganza! So far, CTS technicians have been able to set the pace at an extremely high bar. They’ve not only tackled the LES 140 suite and a Departmental install, but they also knocked out all of the projector upgrades in Bruininks and Kolthoff Halls (aside from the one room with the leak). Phase II installations of Bruininks 220 & 230 and Armory 116 & 202 are complete, and the upgrade of the first ever ALC at the U, Keller 2-260, is almost finished along with the Phase II of Tate 110. 
• The most exciting part of all of this is, unlike last year, we actually have all of the equipment we need to do the work. With that supply-chain obstacle finally in the rear-view mirror, we can kick it into high gear and have an install season for the record books.
• Summer classroom projects are underway. We are wrapping up “Furniture Frenzy” deliveries (over 1,500 pieces of furniture!), and now are working on all the details that happen after the furniture arrives. These include things like asset stickering, new room pictures, layout updates, room search updates, etc. We are coordinating card reader installs and updates, lighting updates, and will start going through our service spaces to continue clean-out work and reshuffling of attic stock efforts started last summer.
• On the Scheduling side, we are processing summer 2023 cancellations, finalizing fall 2023 room assignments, and getting ready to batch schedule spring 2024 classes. The final exam schedule for fall 2023 and spring 2024 will soon be published for students and instructors, and the CCS Class Schedule Build production calendar for summer 2024 - spring 2025 is now available for scheduler review. 
• In addition to the CTS organizational alignment referenced above, OCM has been working to further align the Scheduling, Operations, Customer Service and Planning units to better support cross functional work across teams. Work duties are being right-sized, and teams are being developed with an emphasis on collaboration. With these changes, there will be some reporting line changes that will be effective June 20.
