Digital Media Center

The Digital Media Center (DMC) is a specialized computer lab and production studio for students and employees, located on the lower floor of Preus Library.

The lab portion of the DMC is an open learning space with computers for editing photo, media, and video projects; it’s open whenever the library is open.

The studio portion of the DMC is a special space dedicated to raw content creation, like audio and video creation. The studio has professional equipment like moveable grid lighting, a greenscreen, and a control booth with a digital mixer. To use the studio, make an appointment by contacting the Technology Help Desk.
