Library Media Basement

= Library Media Basement and Hours =

The Media Basement is run by John Bruner and contains 6 specialty rooms, consiting of the Advanced Media Basement, Inter-media Lab, the Audio-toruim, the Div III Lab, the Studio, and the Contol Room.

The Media Basement is located under the Library. You can get to it by either taking the stairs located (from when you walk in) on the far left of the Library all the way down to the basement or take the elevator down to the Basement level.

 Media Basement Hours: 

 Monday-Friday: 10:00AM-10:00PM

                        Saturday:  2:00PM-6:00PM

                        Sunday: 2:00PM - 10:00PM

The labs (other than the Video/Photo Editing Lab) typcially do not stay open later than 10:00PM. I have heard rumors that monitors can be bribed with cookies to keep it open...but they had better be homemade.

P.S. John can be a bit hard to find from time to time. If he cannot be found in his office during his scheduled hours, he may be in one of his many meetings, on a mission, or just wandering the media basement helping students. He can be a bit hard to get ahold of, so make sure to ask either workstudy studnts or monitors of the media basement if he is around. Don't be shy! They are there to help!
