The Photography Studio facility includes three film loading rooms, one of which doubles as a small color darkroom, with a 4”x5” Beseler color dichroic head enlarger, a Jobo processor, and a small sink. Next to the film loading rooms is the Negative Prep room. It houses a large sink, two film dryers, a light table and an ultra-violet light box for exposing alternative processes such as cyanotype.

Adjacent to these rooms is the large black and white print darkroom, equipped with sixteen print stations. Each has a black and white Beseler 23CII enlarger, easel, variable contrast filter set, etc. There are two large sinks for developing prints, two print washing sinks, an archival washer, two sets of print drying racks, an RC print dryer, paper cutter, easels, grain focusers, etc.

The Photography Studio recycles silver and is well ventilated.
