We recommend that faculty and students reserve a specific computer if they require specific software and/or hardware. There are sign up sheets in the VRF. There are 2 hour time slots per user per session. Large rendering projects (video) cannot be supported in the VRF, please use the IDEA Lab for this work. The computers will be cleaned periodically. Remember to bring your own media storage, all computers have CD burners and the Dells have Zip drives as well. Any data left on the hard‐drive will be deleted.

Students borrowing cables, equipment, and reserved books/videos need to bring their student ID or Drivers License, which will be held and returned when the equipment is returned. Please make reservations in person rather than by email or by telephone. Please notify the VRF of cancellations. There will be a 30 minute grace period, after that your reservation will be cancelled. The grace period for returns is the same. As demand increases certain times of the year, the grace period lessens. The staff will not deliver or collect borrowed equipment.

Space: The VRF will provide space and equipment for workshops, group sessions and lectures. When the space is reserved for these events, the VRF will be closed to others. The VRF is not a classroom or viewing space. If other venues are available, Art 210 or the Art Annex please attempt to schedule these rooms first.
Faculty must schedule the room 1 week in advance to provide sufficient notice to others who frequent the VRF. Time allotted to these sessions has a 2 hour limit, and permission from VRF staff is necessary for reservations and for permission to extend beyond this limit.
