The Department of Design maintains the computer area as a service to the students. The Digital Media Center is the result of the financial support of the Hallmark Corporation provided in 2004 to build the technical infrastructure needed to support our educational mission. The labs are often in use for various classes especially during the semester. Room 308 is open to all students in Art and Design as a printing facility. There are student monitors scheduled to provide assistance, but it is generally a self-service facility.


If you need technical assistance you can contact the Information Systems Specialist, Steve Fair (sfair@ku.edu).


The computer lab has the following equipment:

Laser printers for color and black/white output

17 in., 24 in., and 36 in. Epson and HP large format color output

Flatbed and film scanners


Hours are posted here.
