Creative Maker Studio
Media Editing Stations
Located on the Main floor, West Wing of the Learning Commons (adjacent to the Creative Maker Studio) the lab space features high-end HP and iMac computers loaded with industry standard media editing/digital design software.
Twelve HP computers with 32GB RAM and six 27" iMacs can be found across three computer tables within the space. Tables are categorized by the different types of software needs. Edit on these high capacity commuters with large screens for an optimal editing experience.
Reserving
Computer stations are available on a first-come, first-serve basis or can be reserved using Libcal to guarantee your time on a station. Reservations are only available during open CMS service desk hours and can be made up to 2 weeks in advance up to a maximum of 3 hours per day, 12 hours per week.
- If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for the reservation, the first hour of the reservation will be canceled.
- If you don't arrive within 60 minutes of the start of the original reservation, all of the remaining reserved time slots will be canceled.
- If there is a student sitting at the computer station during your reserved time, please visit the Creative Maker Studio so we may either move your reservation to another open computer or ask the current user to log out and relocate.
