Microsoft Office Assistance: Create a Gantt chart in Excel: "here are many ways to create a Gantt chart. For example, Microsoft Project, a task-planning program, makes it easy to track and chart project timelines with a built-in Gantt chart view. Another option is to use Excel.

Hi,



I currently administer two networked classrooms for the English

department, located in LA 27 and LA 29.  It was brought to my

attention that at some point these rooms were mistakenly classified as

"open labs" which led to the decision to not install touchpads to

control the already installed audiovisual equipment.  Unfortunately,

these rooms are used for almost 12 hours a day to teach writing

courses, but the instructors can't use the equipment because the rooms

were left incomplete.  In essence, they are broken.



I'm writing to determine if there is a mechanism in place to have

these classrooms institutionally defined as classrooms, and if there

is a source of funding available to repair these rooms.



thanks for your suggestions,
