What we have been offered is a larger room (at least seating capacity-wise) it will seat about 100 people. With the rate at which we have been growing, we may need all those seats soon. The rooms are similarly equiped as SAIT, there is a podium WITH Ethernet, connection to an overhead LCD projector and power. The only real difference is that the rooms are equipped for wireless rather than ethernet at each desk (at least for this room, there are others with smaller seating capacities where there is ethernet to each desk). This would not stop us from running a switch or hub if people wanted to hook up via ethernet but in my opinion, having an Internet connection at the desks is not a huge deal. Yes, I am aware that some people bring laptops and 'jack-in' during presentations. People could take advantage of the wireless networking if you have a wireless card for your laptops. We would need to provide DeVry's networking folks with MAC addresses to enable you to hook up. They have offered this to us so with a little coordination and supported hardware we'd be good to go. Parking is free, C-train access is via Franklin station and I imagine there are bus routes nearby. Access to the campus is from Barlow Trail which is accessible readily from Deerfoot.
This sounds wonderful to me. Of course, I find SAIT more convenient since the 4/5 bus route combo goes right by there, where I live, and close to where I work. Can't get much more convenient than that. That said, I suspect I can live with the inconvenience of the transit connections.
