There is a lot of ambient sound in the lab that may make it difficult to properly work on projects with audio components. If you intend to work on an audio or video project, we ask that you bring your own headphones. If you have any questions regarding which drive formatting will work best for your project, please contact the lab. If you do bring your own storage device, please make sure that it is formatted properly. Be advised that most video, and motion graphics projects may require a large capacity external hard drive. Most lab projects will fit on a standard flash drive. The size of the storage device you bring is up to you. All lab computer hard drives are wiped between each session to ensure patron privacy. It is recommended that lab members bring a storage device to save their projects. Access to the lab’s software/equipment/tools is limited to lab members only.
