Adhering to the current concept of education, which seeks to effect modifications in instructional methods as well as in the instructor and student rules, the University determined to see to the transformation of the Unit into the Audiovisual Center. Under the stewardship of the former president of the University, Dr. Emily M. Marohombsar, then the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Center started its operation in Academic Year 1978-1979. Designed to provide meaningful and enriching learning experience to the University constituents through the adoption of “System Approach” to curriculum and instruction, the Center set out to achieve its desired goals and objectives. The interest of the Center in this respect range from elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities through various units of government and industry, including the research and development that now seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice in education.
From its old office at the Science Lecture Hall, the Center was transferred to the Academic Complex Building which also houses the MSU College of Law. The Center occupies the basement where the main office is located, the technical services room, the stock room and the University Amphitheater. The two function rooms are located at the second floor of the building namely the Executive Conference Room and the Lecture Hall.
