Elevator access to Studio 300 will not be available to the public. Instead, our staff will have a table in the lobby (in front of Brooks Cafe) for you to check in before heading down to the studio.

Equipment can be returned anytime during studio hours either at the lobby table or at the Studio 300 Service Desk if capacity has not already been reached.
