Media Lab

If you are interested in getting hands-on experience with all types of digital media 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 a sound recording booth. The Lab is free for all COD students to use--you just need a valid COD Library card.
