If you have questions about available equipment, contact the LRC Office. Equipment is set up by the LRC staff for client use for a specific and limited time period. In general, long-term loans of LRC equipment are not available.

At other times, please leave a message and we will return your call the next business day. Reservations can also be made by filling out an AV Equipment Reservation Form and returning via email (see the form for additional information.) All requests should be made at least two business days prior to the reservation date so as to allow us to schedule pickups and deliveries that can be done in a timely fashion, and are subject to the availability of equipment. Priority will be given to requests in the order in which they are received. Later requests may require different delivery arrangements or that equipment be picked up at the LRC by the requester. Equipment reservations for early morning, evening, and weekend hours can be arranged by calling the LRC staff at x64764. Equipment will not be delivered and may not be left in meeting rooms unattended. We are glad to make arrangements that will allow for equipment usage to meet LUMC staff meeting needs. Please call us if you have any questions about this policy so that we can determine how best to serve you. Requests for equipment for special events (dedications, conferences, etc.) should be arranged with the LRC at least 14 days in advance.
