The Multimodal Lab is an inclusive, innovative, culturally-responsive place where students can drop in to study, recharge, create projects and presentations, and get academic support across disciplines from our caring Collaborative Learning Assistants (CLAs), Tutors, Lab Teaching Assistant, and Faculty Leads. Our CLAs and tutors help students understand and design class assignments, presentations, and projects, including multimodal projects.
Enjoy our diverse spaces to study, collaborate, create, focus, recharge, and build community. We have open lab study space, computers, a quiet room, multipurpose private rooms, maker space, and The Loaf -- a cozy lounge with a library, record player, comfy seating, weighted blankets and squishmellows.
Come by for friendly help from our Collaborative Learning Assistants and Tutors. We offer support across disciplines for multimodal assignments (writing, speaking, presenting, zine-making, podcasting, and more). We specialize in English and Communication classes. Click here for the Communication Tutoring Schedule & Online Communication Lab (accessible with your SBCC pipeline account).
Join us for in-person and virtul events and workshops. Always free and open to the SBCC community.
We provide technology and creative materials for use in the lab including podcasting microphones, ring lights, cannon eos and polaroid cameras, headphones, chromebooks, ipads, portable chargers, button makers, book binders, a large selection of arts and crafts supplies, and more.
Drop in or reserve one of our multipurpose private rooms for recording, zooming, presentation and speech practice, group meetings or study. Each is equipped with tables and chairs, a computer station with webcam, mirophone and speakers, track lighting and cutained backgrounds, and a large whiteboard and wall-mounted flatscreen.
Home to the Honors Program, Book Club, Sociology Club, Sigma Chi Eta and more! Contact us if you are a student group or club and would like to use our space!
