Facilities

The Collaboratory is a state-of-the art research communication hub that provides opportunities for researchers to use technology to connect humanities-based skills and knowledge to real-world problems. The laboratory includes the DeWitt Gallery, a flexible public venue for educational displays in both traditional and digital formats; a Collaboration room where researchers can share ideas related to the intersection of humanities and technology; and a digital production room with a video studio and professional audio equipment.
Podcast

Audio Recording Create professional recordings in our dedicated audio recording studio. Equipped with four Shurecast microphones and Sony headsets, a RodeCaster Pro mixing board, and a computer, the studio allows researchers to record interviews, create podcasts, or share their research in other creative auditory ways. Easy to use equipment and sound-dampening features makes recording simple and allows you to share expertise and ideas with a wider audience.

Video Room

Use our dedicated space to record presentations, video interviews, or papers. High-quality microphones, lighting, and a camera along with a large-screen monitor with access to Zoom and Panopto provide a professional setting for recordings. Sound dampening panels also reduce echoes and outside noises. We have Camtasia available in the Collaboratory for editing.
3D Scanning

Bring your artifacts and projects to a wider audience with a small 3D scanner. Scanned items can then be shared online so people can see it from multiple angles.

DeWitt Gallery

Host traditional or digital museum-type displays in this publicly-accessible space. Wall hangers and two touch-screen displays are available to mount posters, online projects, or other research presentations.

Vibe Board
