"The goal of the Southwest Securities Financial Markets Center at Baylor University is to provide students with access to technologies they will use out in the financial world. This room succeeds with two rear-screen projectors, a 58 x 144-inch screen and two 61-inch plasma displays on the side walls. The displays can be used for presenting, videoconferencing or displaying material from a plethora of sources, including a document camera, DVD player, student laptops and the school's network, all available via an AMX control panel at the teaching station. The horseshoe-shaped conference table provides seating for 20 people and each seat is equipped with a microphone. The table is crowned with a 12-foot curved ticker and data-wall display, providing stock quotes and market data. Four additional student workstations with multiple monitors offer more seating and workspace. For Baylor business students, this room helps jumpstart their technological education..."
