Entrance to Lind Hall
An IMA sign greets visitors as they enter the first
floor of Lind
Hall.
The sign is next to the main administrative office to guide
visitors to the office,
and to create visibility for the IMA and its work. The
prominent sign beautifully
incorporates the logo and colors which represent the IMA.
The IMA is utilizing 1,208 square feet
of administrative space on the first floor of Lind
Hall, which
includes eight
work areas in two office suites. Housing, visas,
reimbursements, accounting,

administrative offices on the first floor, seating eight
people. One of the most notable
spaces at the IMA is the large, naturally lit reception area
on the fourth floor.

Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science (EE/CS) building on the first floor.
It
houses the IMA's main conference rooms. These two rooms

The lecture hall enjoys recently enhanced networking and
multimedia
capabilities which allow computer
demonstrations and video onto two screens. The IMA is also
able to record or
broadcast lectures
via five permanently mounted video cameras.
The enhanced networking includes a fiber-optic
link in order to support the high bandwidth needs of
multimedia presentations and the transmission of IMA
conferences
over the Internet.
The IMA began webcast streaming most workshop lectures in the
fall of 2005. A combination
of Real Media Live Streaming and a four-camera Axis ActiveX
Camera Control
interfaced system allow researchers unable to physically attend
the program to
follow workshop lectures and group discussions.
Coffee breaks between sessions of the IMA workshops allow fellow
researchers to converse on key points.
