Buildings & Grounds Maintenance

Audio equipment is a fundamental concern for every event. Components to consider: Will your guests hear the presenters? Will the presenters hear the guests? Will your recording or streaming of the event sound good?

Media Technician Information
Our media technicians prepare, deliver, set-up, operate, troubleshoot, disassemble and return all of the necessary sound equipment to our on-campus warehouse.   Hiring a media technician to stay on-site for the duration of an event to monitor and operate the sound equipment is recommended. This is not required, but if you choose not hire a media technician, operation and troubleshooting of the equipment becomes your responsibility. There are some venues that require a media technician. (e.g., most auditoria). We may also require a media technician for more complex events to ensure a quality production.  For staffing rates, please see our rates page.
