TransNow Communication Center (TCC)

The TCC was designed for parties affiliated with the University of Washington to easily meet and collaborate with remote parties via either audio or video conference. Adding video and powerpoint slides to your conference calls often removes the need to travel, saving time and money. The room is also well suited for presentations to small groups. Presentations, meetings and conferences can be recorded onto DVD or captured into a computer file for sharing on the internet.
