The Open Scholarship Commons (OSC) Recording Studio is a space designed for creativity and collaboration for audio-visual projects that support our mission of advancing open, public, and emerging forms of scholarship by providing interdisciplinary opportunities to build skills necessary to co-create, share, translate, and make the impact of research visible to the world.
Location
The Recording Studio is located near the Open Scholarship Commons on the first floor of the Suzzallo Library, in the space marked as room 159 on the map below. When entering from Red Square, go straight through the main lobby past the Starbucks, and turn left when you see the school supplies vending machines. You will pass desks and other student working areas, and then come upon the folio stacks. Turn left, and it will be the first door on the left, marked with a sign saying “Recording Studio.”
