TelePresence
There are currently six telepresence rooms on the University of Missouri campuses. Columbia, Rolla, Kansas City and Saint Louis each have one large, three-screen Cisco TelePresence room. MOREnet, located on the west side of Columbia, has a single screen Cisco TelePresence room. Columbia also has second unit which is a large single screen system located at Uhall.

*TelePresence users should be aware that on rare occasions, their scheduled meeting may be pre-empted to accommodate senior university officials. If this does occur, we will make every effort to reschedule your meeting and/or make arrangements for a non-TelePresence video conference or an audio conference in the original time slot.
