The Digital Media and Music Lab is a public computing space housing iMac stations equipped with multimedia software as well as general campus computer lab programs. It’s the perfect spot to do post-production editing on the multimedia projects created in the ACS media spaces!

All Mac computers, docking stations, and are provided and managed by the Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences IT department. Midi keyboards are provided and managed by the Fulbright Music Department.
