The eleven rooms are equipped with VTel equipment, cameras, multimedia teaching podiums and tech support stations. Five studios are used exclusively for high school course delivery.

Two large studios in the MeWaldt-Jensen building and one in the Williams library support the on-campus and distance delivery of undergraduate and graduate level e-learning courses.
