Facilities

Group Study Rooms (DMC1-5)
Groups of up to six people can reserve one of the five study rooms. These rooms are equipped with white boards and presentation technology.

Presentation Circles
Two presentation circles create semi-enclosed spaces that are perfect for small presentations or hosting small events. These are reservable by library staff. Please contact dmc-studios [at] northeastern.edu for more information.

3D Printing Studio
The studio offers a full suite of 3D fabrication and modeling technologies. Stop by during walk-in hours, or look for monthly workshops on the three technology families: 3D printing, 3D scanning, and laser cutting.

Recording Studios
The Audio and Video Studios provide state-of-the art audio and video recording, with a control room in the audio studio for recording, tracking, and mixing. There are also two Media Creation Studios available for basic audio recording, podcasting, post-production, and learning object creation. You must reserve these spaces in advance.
