As of September 2007, the Classroom Improvement Project has completed 128 general-purpose classrooms with 30–90 seats that lacked instructional technology beyond overhead projectors and internet access. This represents nearly 60% of our registrar-controlled classrooms with 20 to 100 seats, and we now are assessing whether more installations are needed.
