Services Audio/Video Equipment

Seeley Mudd 110

Multimedia Services circulates a wide variety of A/V equipment for student academic use and for faculty, staff, and events. 

Equipment is restricted to the Amherst College community, and to 5-College students taking a class at Amherst College that requires use of equipment. Because of high demand, video cameras, audio recorders and related production equipment are restricted to course-related projects. Faculty approval must be obtained.

See our List of Circulating Audio Visual Equipment

Other equipment may be available by request.
