LOGAN MEDIA CENTER

A joint effort of the Arts & Humanities Division, Information Technology Services (ITS), and the Logan Center, the Jonathan Logan Family Foundation Media Center (LMC) supports the arts at UChicago by providing AV equipment, production space, software, and technical training. The LMC supports the curricular needs of courses in the arts; individual student and faculty artists; co-curricular and extracurricular arts organizations on campus; and other campus artists with the approval of LMC staff. In addition, the LMC staff work with our campus and community partners to provide AV support for events that take place at the Logan Center.

Please note: self-guided orientations, policy and procedures training, annual quizzes and certifications, downloadable user guides, and announcements are hosted through our Canvas Course. All users, new or returning, must complete the General Access Orientation quiz every academic year to access creative production equipment and spaces. New users register for access to the Canvas Course here.
