Computer Science Research Assistance

Media Lab

If you are interested in digital media and VR production, you can access hardware, software, and get support in the Library's Digital Media Lab.

The Lab is a place where COD students can create and edit all kinds of digital audio, video, and images. Located on the Library's lower level, the Lab consists of ten imaging stations, an A/V editing suite, and audio and video recording spaces. The Lab is free for all COD students to use--you just need a valid COD Library card.
