Charges for A/V Equipment and Labor Usage

There is no charge to use ATC equipment for WPI classes, meetings, and events that are primarily for the benefit of the WPI community (i.e. the majority of attendees are members of the WPI community and no attendance fee is charged) - the ATC consider these types of activities "Tier 1" events. However, when there are fees charged to attend an event and/or the majority of the attendees are not members of the WPI community, "Tier 2" pricing will be used. "Tier 3" pricing will be applied to events whose organizers and/or participants are external to WPI. Please refer to the table below for more details.

Equipment rates do not include delivery, set-up, or take-down services. Some equipment may be available for self-service use on or off-campus. All equipment is subject to equipment availability and may require the services of an ATC technician which will be charged at the appropriate hourly rate.
