The Penn State community is invited to an open house of the newly designed and renovated Digital Commons media production studios on the second floor of Pollock Building, University Park on Oct. 25 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. At University Park, the Digital Commons offers two studios, the Faculty Multimedia Center for faculty and Studio 204 for students. These free facilities, which provide hands-on assistance from experienced multimedia experts, are part of the Digital Commons initiative of Teaching and Learning with Technology, a unit of Information Technology Services. Through the initiative, similar studios will be installed at all Penn State campus locations by 2009, allowing students to enrich their educations through the creation of digital content.

Featured at the open house will be four new faculty workstations that are dedicated to the creation of digital media to incorporate into course-related activities. Visitors can tour the newly expanded digital video production studio and digital video editing suite and see the array of equipment available. They will also be able to view examples of past projects produced using Digital Commons facilities.

The Faculty Multimedia Center and Studio 204 digital media production studios will be temporarily closed Sept. 24-30 during their move to the second floor of Pollock Building, University Park. They will be back in operation beginning Oct. 1 in freshly renovated surroundings. During the move, faculty and students can continue to make appointments or receive assistance by calling 814-574-9721 or visiting Studio 204’s temporary location at the University Learning Center, 7 Sparks Building. The Faculty Multimedia Center will no longer be located in Rider Building II. This move will bring the faculty and student studios together in a single location near the center of campus, as part of the Digital Commons initiative of Teaching and Learning with Technology, a unit of Information Technology Services.
