After a brief closure to remove the drop ceiling, the Photo Studio is back open and available to reserve for credentialed members! Come check out the newly renovated space. We have two paths to access available: full studio including cameras, and studio space only. If you’re interested in gaining credentials, come see us and we’ll get you started!

Dear Diary,
Something really interesting is going to happen for Photo Studio Reservations in March. We’ve gotten feedback that our members want shorter reservations in the Photo Studio. So, we’re trying out 1-hour reservations on Thursdays in March.
Access to the Studio hasn’t changed, so members still have to:
1. Complete the General Orientation
2. Complete the Photo Studio Orientation
3. Pass the Access Assessment for the Photo Studio
Also, each 1-hour reservation still counts towards the limit of 3 that our members can have active at any given time, but we hope this will meet the needs of our users!

| Dale Bauer |
| Daniel Beran |
| Christopher Beverly |
| Brett Clark |
