OTS Student Computing Services
Cook Library, Room 35
For TU students of all experience levels, OTS is proud to offer three multimedia production studios featuring a wide-range of tools and support staff to provide orientation and consulting. No matter your major, you have creative potential. SCS wants to help you develop it.
OTS Student Multimedia Services (SMS) offers three studios to help TU students of all disciplines and skill levels grow their video and audio production skills.
With sound dampening features, Studios A and B, as well as the adjacent Media Production Den, are equipped with MacOS X and Windows 10 workstations optimized for media production work and including a full range of software titles. Studio C is a larger space with changable backgrounds and lights well suited to video recording and group work.
Students new to video production will also appreciate our staff of multimedia support specialists—available by appointment only—and free access to LinkedIn Learning tutorials.
Our studios are part of the Student Multimedia Services (SMS) Lab in Cook 35. Students may book studio space for up to two hours at a time online or in person. When making a booking, students may also request that staff assistance be provided during the session. In order to successfully arrange assistance, we require advanced notice and as much detail as possible on the nature of the work.
SMS Studios are not an appropriately private space for clients to work with nude models, and reservations made for this purpose will be canceled.
SMS Studios A and B each measure 12'x7' and are stocked with the equipment listed below. Students planning to record video or audio can either bring their own devices or book equipment via ORBS for use during their studio sessions.
Studio C measures 12'x20' and includes changable backgrounds and four softbox lights on floor stands. It is intended for video recording, rehearsal and group work. It does not include a computer.
In reserving and using SMS Studios:
The SMS studios are not intended for general computing activities such as web browsing, email processing and word processing, which can be completed just as well using any computer in Cook Library.
When you make a booking, SMS holds the studio for you. No one else can book it. If you do not report for your booking (or alert us to extenuating circumstances) within 15 minutes after the start time, the booking will automatically cancel, freeing the resource for other users. If you know well in advance that you will not need the resource, please log into ORBS and cancel the booking.
SMS Studios are not an appropriately private space for clients to work with nude models, and bookings made for this purpose will be canceled.
As described in the University’s Acceptable Use Policies, clients may not use the SMS studios for commercial or profit-making purposes without written authorization from the University.
