PASCUA YAQUI TRIBE - UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA MICROCAMPUS
Main Lecture Hall
Our main lecture hall is a fully equipped, state-of-the-art hybrid classroom designed to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment for both in-person and remote students. Whether delivering a lecture or hosting a collaborative discussion, instructors can seamlessly interact with students in the room and online—all thanks to advanced integrated technology.
Smart Hybrid Teaching Environment

At the heart of the room is a cutting-edge hybrid teaching system powered by ceiling-mounted Asure speakers, microphones, and camera. The smart microphones automatically switch between capturing the instructor's voice and any student who speaks, allowing online participants to follow the conversation naturally. Likewise, when remote students ask questions, their voices are clearly broadcast through the in-room ceiling speakers, ensuring full engagement for all attendees.
The Asure ceiling camera captures the instructor’s movements and gestures, providing a professional-quality video feed to online participants. All audio-visual systems are integrated into the instructor’s desktop at the teaching podium, allowing for simple and efficient control.
Presentation and Collaboration Tools

- Two 86-inch desktop monitors mirror the instructor’s computer for presenting PowerPoint slides and class materials clearly and effectively.
- A 70-inch Samsung Smart Touchscreen Board, powered by Android, provides a modern alternative to the traditional whiteboard, allowing instructors to draw or annotate live during Zoom sessions—ensuring remote learners stay visually connected to classroom activities.
Enhanced Lighting Control
To ensure optimal video quality, the lecture hall features fully automated window curtains that block outside sunlight, maintaining consistent lighting for superior video capture.
Large Event Support
For larger in-person gatherings, the microcampus is also equipped with a Bluetooth-enabled microphone and speaker system, ensuring clear and amplified audio throughout the room for presentations, panels, and special events.
