Game Room Technology

The McCormick Game Room offers McCormick residents to use the only 4K projector on campus for their viewing pleasure. The Game Room is under the jurisdiction of the McCormick Entertainment Chairs (mccormick-entertainment@mit.edu). Please direct all questions/comments/feedback to them. This page is intended to answer FAQs and provide basic tutorials.

Game Room Rules

  2. Do not change the Roku settings. Please do not log out of the accounts!
  3. Please leave the room the way you found it. Do not leave trash or the room in a disarray. Leave the remotes on the cupboard when you leave!
