Friends/non-lab user Policy
The Photography labs are communal studio environments. Please be mindful of others' space and time as they focus on completing their coursework. While friends and non-lab users may visit these spaces briefly, they can not use any equipment in the facilities.
If a lab is very dense and busy and several non-lab users are present, a technician may ask them to leave the space.

Food & Drink Policy
No food or drink is allowed anytime in any Photography Department lab. Only water in a closed container is permitted in the lab. Students can use the common spaces in the F hallway to consume food.
