All equipment is subject to availability and is reserved on a first-come/first-serve basis. Generally, we require at least 4 days advance notice for servicing requests. However, we do realize that it is not always easy to predict when equipment may be needed. In those circumstances, we will work as diligently as possible to ensure your requests are met.

All requests must be submitted by a faculty member, teaching fellow, or appropriate department administrator. If equipment is needed for student presentations, we still ask that requests be made by one of the above. We do not accept requests directly from students. .

All requests must be in writing and may be sent by Internet , e-mail, fax, or departmental mail. You may also visit our office and place an order at our service counter.

Please contact us with questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions you may have.

We are located at 985 Commonwealth Avenue on the first floor.
