Welcome! Classroom Technology Support (CTS) is a service-oriented group committed to enriching the educational experience at Loyola University Chicago. We support approximately 300 centrally controlled technology classrooms and learning spaces located on the lakeside campuses. Our hours of operation run parallel to when classes are in session. CTS also offers demonstrations and consultation for all classroom technology.

The primary function of Classroom Technology Support is to meet the media and technology needs of instructors teaching in the classroom environment. Services for special events including meetings and conferences held in learning spaces may also be provided if staff and equipment are available. CTS is dedicated to bringing the latest teaching and learning technologies to the entire Loyola community.

• Tours of classrooms and learning spaces 
• Delivery and pick up of select equipment to classrooms and learning spaces
• Video capture and live streaming for approved academic events
