Darkroom

The Darkroom will be open during spring break from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week (the darkroom will close early on Thursday by 4 p.m.) and 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. over the weekend. Regular hours of operation will resume on Monday, March 17th.

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.

Darkroom lab facilities located on the fifth floor of 66 Fifth Avenue include:

• 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
• a print finishing room for drying, pressing, and mounting photographs
