| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | A sound recording / mixing studio would allow us to expand New Media course offerings as well as augment the Music program re-design. Such a facility can be used not only to teach the basics of sound engineering, but also for courses in sound design, radio/pod-cast production, music production, and voice/radio performance. Currently, the weakness of the New Media program is in the audio area. The sound studio would allow students to complete their studies with a more varied skill set, resulting in students who are better prepared for job market needs or transfer to further media studies. |

| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Students will be less prepared for careers in the media industries or transfer to other institutions. |
