Review of the Audio Visual Equipment Design has been completed, and a review meeting is being scheduled to discuss the comments and determine decisions. The initial run was about 1 million over budget, but ITCS and the designer are working on options to reduce the costs without reducing the program requirements. There were a couple of requests for adding functions to rooms that were not initially programmed.
