The Department of Communication Advanced Media Lab is located in Terrell Hall 415. The lab is a converged media learning environment where students can gather to share resources, knowledge, and network while they build and design multimedia projects. This space allows for collaborative possibilities within the media, classes, and student media organizations. This lab is open to Communication students 24-7 and is equipped with 16 i-MAC computers.

The Media Lab Coordinator also offers assistance to majors with equipment and software, as well as provides a variety of workshops and hands-on tutorials to advance student learning beyond the classroom.
