CTS  Digital Media Zone (DMZ) - New Location is LIB 1015

Since its opening in 2007, the CTS DMZ has proven to be a popular destination for students. With comfy couches and a mix of high-end and basic media tools and equipment, the DMZ was an instant hit. The College has expanded the DMZ and moved it to the main floor of the Library in room 1015. 

The DMZ has three new Mac Labs in 1015A, 1015B, and 1015C.  Also included are 2 Audio Stations in 1015D and 1015E, DMZ Media Labs, black and white and color laser printers, and some scanners are available.
