Housed in Room 127 is the department’s Multimedia Lab and Teaching Space. Five rooms have state-of-the-art equipment for digital editing, recording and blogging, where students practice the art of digital editing for broadcast and film, mixing for audio, practice digital audio editing techniques, and create talk and music programs. Some of this material is run on LUTV Channel 7 and Lamar’s National Public Radio station, KVLU 91.3.

COMM 103 is the department’s theatre classroom. Although many of our classes are designed to have smaller class sizes, our theatre classroom is designed to accommodate larger classes where students can be active and involved in the learning process. State-of-the-art audio/visual technology enhances student learning in this space. The theatre is ideal for student movie premieres, movie nights, and special guest lectures.
