UCSC’s Film and Digital Media Department has launched a new Social Documentation Laboratory at the Westside Research Park.
Featuring open areas for collaboration; a studio/gallery for immersive media and installations; a seminar room; an audio mixing room; audio recording studio; editing and work stations; and an enclosed quiet editing and color grading room, the new lab expands the university’s capacity to support graduate students working at the intersection of media production, social justice, and critical scholarship.
A turn-key Design/Build delivery by Bogard Construction, the new Social Documentation Lab provides a creative home for graduate students in the Department of Film and Digital Media’s SocDoc MFA and PhD programs.
