As part of an ongoing review of library services and infrastructure, we’ve decided to close the library’s Media Studio, effective July 19, 2024. This includes physical spaces (editing suites, podcast studio), instructional services, equipment lending, software subscriptions and support for digital assignment creation.

The library will continue supporting classes using the Media Studio for the summer semester. All media studio users who have current bookings have been contacted to be informed of the changes.
