The following information is provided by the member institution, to assist committee members and Orbis staff in selecting and planning committee meetings where some member(s) will be participating from a remote site.

Videoconference equipment available? YES

"Our teleconferencing capabilities include Net 2, H.320, and H.323. The room with the teleconferencing equipment is located in another building, has seating for 12, and has access to refreshments. Costs are $30/hr"

Videoconference equipment available? YES.

Speaker phone is nonrestricted; PicTell is only available with room capacity of 10-12, food is allowed, located in Administration Building, no cost for equipment use

"If Orbis purchased a video conferencing unit that operates video over regular telephone lines (such as 8x8 Technologies, but its called something else now, call me if we're interested). with this unit you can do dial-up video conferencing over regular analog lines, of course the remote site needs a unit too but they run only about $300, less than one trip over the mountain...cuts costs but is only point to point."

George Fox University Speaker phone available? YES. Omnidirectional or multiple microphones-yes
Videoconference equipment available? no

"We have a few options, depending on availability. It is possibile that we could find a room holding up to 30, but a room for up to about 20 would be more readily available. Food could be available. One of the possible locations is in the library, but there are also options outside of the library. No cost to use the equipment.

We have a selection of conference speaker phones available for campus use. The smaller unit is suitable for groups of people up to about 10. It has an omni directional mic built into it. A larger unit is available for large groups of people. It has two speaker/mic units which can be seperated and spread out across a large table. It also has remote mics for placing at stratigic locations. We do not have any video conferencing equipment available at this time."

Lewis & Clark College Speaker phone available? YES. "The College has a speaker phone that is available by advance reservation through the Telecommunications Department. The phone has an omni-directional microphone."
Videoconference equipment available? YES. "This equipment is requested in advance through the College's Media Services Department."

"There are several rooms of different sizes on campus which are wired for video conference equipment, but they are in high demand and must be reserved in advance. Rooms not located in the library allow food; the meeting room in the library (this also must be reserved in advance) holds approximately 12 people and does not allow food (beverages are allowed). We are charged a nominal fee for labor but are not charged for equipment use. Past costs for conference calls has been very high.
Teleconferences are sometimes held in the Council Chamber in Templeton Student Center. This auditorium-style room accommodates approximately 200 people and needs to be reserved in advance. Most necessary equipment is in the room, but additional equipment, if needed, can usually be provided through the College's Media Services Department. There may be other rooms that could be used for teleconferences, but availability would be limited since they also serve as classrooms."
