POLICIES
Because the CMII facilities are technologically specialized and sophisticated, use policies govern access and assure safety protocols are in place.
These policies include documents that detail use, available technology and protocols for the:
- Main production stage and connected control and post-production suites
- Virtual reality demonstration and CAVE labs
- Focus group research facility
- Research labs
- Media maker space
These policy manuals have been produced by relying on best available practice information from peer universities and organized in close consultation with the Georgia State Office of Legal Affairs.
A manual specifies access to and support provided to users of the Media Entrepreneurship Center.
As these materials are finalized for the building’s grand opening, we will post them in PDF form on this page.
In the meantime, if you would like access to information about lab procedures, contact David Cheshier at [email protected].
