Seminar Room: Most graduate courses take place in the department seminar room, BSB 1169. The Department through grant and college funding, has equipped the room as a state-of-the-art smart classroom, with executive seating, indirect lighting, surround sound, large-format high-resolution screen, wireless access, and the equipment for multi-national videotape, CD, DVD, computer monitor display for presentation software and internet browsing, and overhead (opaque) document projection using wireless keyboard, mouse, and remote controls.
Computer Lab: The Department maintains a computer lab in BSB 1167 for faculty and graduate student use. The lab contains eMac computers connected to the campus network, as well as a printer and graphics workstation with scanner. Most software packages needed for research are available on the network.

The lab is open during the weekday business hours, and the user must sign out a key from the main department office. To receive authorization for key sign-out, you must first attend a one-hour training session, which takes place only once at the beginning of each term.
Teleconferencing Studio: The Department has equipped a teleconferencing studio in BSB 1155. The room can host distance interviews for research using a high-speed internet connection for simultaneous video and audio interactions.
Public Speaking Lab: The Department has established a home base for the teaching of public speaking in BSB 1153. The room has spaces for graduate-student instructors to meet in individual consultation with undergraduates enrolled in public speaking courses, and also has several mobile units with cameras and video playback capabilities for students in the courses to have their speeches recorded and critiqued.
Department Wireless: The Department has two wireless network servers, CommO’Hare and CommMidway, which are accessible to students with a UIC netID and password. For information, ask a staff member or continuing graduate student about details.
Copier: The department copier also serves as a scanner and network printer for preparing instructional materials. Faculty and graduate assistants in the Department receive a monthly copy allocation to use for teaching materials. The Department does not allow personal copying or permit the use of its printing capabilities for one’s own courses as a student. However, faculty and graduate students have unlimited use of the scanning capabilities in the lab and on the copier and can send scanned documents to an e-mail address without charge.

The University also provides each student and faculty member with printing privileges in its open labs (the equivalent of 150 one-sided or 300 two-sided copies per semester).
