Library Media Studio (Reservable)

People conducting an interview in the library studio.

The John C. Pace library on UWF's main campus offers complete video/audio and photography production areas for students, faculty, and staff. The 1st-floor audio/video/photography studio is an ideal place to complete course projects and develop multimedia instructional materials.

You may want to view an introductory video we have produced for this space.

Everyone is required to view this 3-minute video about studio safety.

Everyone must attend a brief in-person safety/training session before reserving or using the room. Once completed, this training will be good for one calendar year.

Individual workshops can be arranged for small groups of students, faculty, and staff. Contact John Barksdale - jbarksdale1@uwf.edu - to organize a training workshop for your group.
