Facilities

Vilas Communication Hall was built in 1972. The Instructional Media Center originally housed 16mm film equipment and had a back hallway dedicated to editing stations, where undergraduate students edited film by hand. Since then, as the industry has transitioned to digital videography, so has the media center. Thanks to generous support from the Hamel family, the editing hallway has been converted into dozens of computer editing stations, and new computer labs have been built for both classroom use and individual work with digital media.
