Facilities

The Department of Media, Journalism and Film facilities are in Williams Hall. Faculty offices are sprinkled throughout the building and most MJF courses are held there, although a few may be scheduled in Bachelor, Upham, McGuffey or even the Engineering Building's classrooms.

Williams Hall contains two computer classrooms, three traditional classrooms, one film editing lab, several individual film-editing and audio-editing studios, a full broadcast news sound set and master control studio, and a radio production studio. The building has a student lounge and several conference rooms, as well as an equipment checkout facility where students can user their ID's to borrow anything from a digital SLR camera to digital voice recorders to digital video camcorders for class projects. In a separate Williams Hall suite of rooms, Miami students operate WMSR Redhawk Radio - news, sports, music and live talk - with the latest in radio broadcast technology.

Our state-of-the-art, high-definition TV studio and master control has two sets and a multi-camera set-up for live shows and recorded interviews. It offers students the professional world experience in an academic setting - and our myriad grads working in broadcast and film attest to the quality of the Miami experience.

Miami MJF faculty and staff believe students must have hands-on experience in media and film work. So we provide the latest in technology - digital cameras, audio recorders, digital broadcast and film camcorders, tripods and more - for student check-out.

When you are enrolled in a media production class, you simply take your ID to the equipment check-out room, Williams Hall 123, and check out what you need for a specific time period. Free and easy!

If you experience an accessibility barrier while attempting to reserve equipment, please contact the MJF Equipment Center at 513-529-3523 or email mjfequip@miamioh.edu.
