Darkroom

The Darkroom will close at 6 p.m. on Saturday, January 25, and Sunday, January 26. Regular hours of operation will resume the week of January 27.

Additionally, the Darkroom will be closed on Monday, February 17, in observance of Presidents’ Day, and during the week of March 10 for Spring Break.

Priority for new orientations will be given to students enrolled in a darkroom course. Students who have previously completed a Film Processing and Darkroom orientation will retain access throughout the spring semester. Those interested in developing black-and-white film or darkroom printing should contact the ERC to schedule an orientation.

Students wishing to use this space must check in at the front desk, located in the fifth-floor lobby of 66 Fifth Avenue. Those with the required prior training for the respective resources may schedule appointments at the desk.

• a 20-station black-and-white darkroom equipped with Bessler enlargers capable of printing 4″ x 5″ negatives
• a film developing area
• a color-balanced print viewing room that allows students to make precise color corrections
