Innovative Media & The Workshop

Photo of the computers and space of The Workshop with the Workshop logo over top of it.

The Workshop provides hardware, software, spaces, and expertise to help the VCU community produce creative work of all kinds. Practically, that means concentrating in three main areas: graphics, audio and video projects; the world of hands-on making; and exploring new and emerging technologies.

Contact Oscar Keyes, Multimedia Teaching & Learning Librarian for consultations and advice on using multimedia resources.
