Approval of the purchase of hardware, software, associated wiring, and implementation services to upgrade the KSU Board of Regents meeting room.
The KSU Board Room located in the Academic Services building is outdated and needs an upgrade of its audio and visual systems. The room was originally designed for only in-person meetings and since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, meetings have been either all virtual or a hybrid of in-person and virtual. The room's capabilities have proven to be inefficient and outdated in the current hybrid environment.
The proposed upgraded system will include:
Two 75" and one 65" TV monitors
Conferencing camera system including 2 cameras
14 Microphones
Speakers
Implementation Services
The cost for the upgraded software and hardware is $135,518.64 and this expenditure will be funded by Title III.
KSU will purchase the technology from Encore Technologies using the Commonwealth of Kentucky Master Agreement MA 758 1900000912 for IT Peripherals & Components.
