Knowledge Center receives national award for audiovisual technology
The University of Nevada, Reno’s Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center recently received top honors, along with Temple University’s Alter Hall, for the “Best Education AV Project” in the country, a 2009 PRO AV (audiovisual) Spotlight Award.
The 300,000-square-foot facility contains more than 1 million volumes, with the capacity to hold 2 million. The judges for the PRO AV Spotlight Awards were particularly impressed with the Center’s all-fiber high-definition (HD) distribution system. The Knowledge Center will be the site of NCET’s October 20 Tech Tuesday.
