A. Children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent. For the first booking children under 11 should be accompanied by a parent. 

 

Q. Can I bring food and drink into the Sound Lab?

A. You may have a small snack and a covered drink away from the recording equipment. Please make sure to wash your hands before handling equipment  and clean up any garbage or food

 

Q. Can I do anything in the Sound Lab?

Q. The Sound Lab had junk everywhere and equipment left on...what's up with that?

A. The user before you didn't clean up before they left, which makes things more difficult for everyone. Please let us know if you find the Sound Lab is not clean when you use it, and please put equipment back for the next person. Thanks!
