The Digital Technology Center
(DTC) is pleased to make its conference rooms available to the
University of Minnesota community. However, the DTC is not a conference
service provider. The DTC’s rooms are provided free to eligible
users on the condition that the rooms are cleaned and returned to their
original configuration after use. If the rooms are not returned to their
original configuration, a service fee of $150 per day may be charged. In
addition, the sponsoring department is responsible for any damages to DTC
equipment, furnishings, or facilities incurred during the event.
In using the DTC rooms, please be aware of the
following:
Permission must be obtained before reconfiguring a room.
The DTC does not provide technical or facilities support on weekends or
after hours. Limited technical and facilities support is available during
the week. It is highly recommended that event organizers verify all
technical, facility, and building arrangements at least 24 hours prior
to the event. In particular, it is recommended that the audio visual
equipment be reviewed to ensure that it the on-site organizer understands
how it is operated.
Please alert the DTC to any special networking or communications needs
when making the reservations. Wireless access is available for conference
guests for a fee by special arrangement and with prior approval through
Academic and Distributed Computing Services. More information is available

need to be made at least seven days prior to the event.

access to its space and technical facilities. Other staff housed in Walter
Library will be unable to provide technical or facilities assistance during
events.

arrangements, and may require a security monitor to be present. The cost of
