Description & capabilities
Photography/digital-lab environments for film, scanning, image development, and output workflows.
Access status
- Access: 🟡 Yellow — Needs an appointment or affiliation
- Rationale: M.A. Papanek-Miller is Professor and Director of The Art School (faculty page; mpapanek@depaul.edu). The same page lists the school office at art@depaul.edu. Open labs and A/V checkout are for students enrolled in ART courses and need a faculty-authorized form from the AV/Photo Assistant in room 330A or the studio manager.

- Faculty page names M.A. Papanek-Miller as Professor and Director (mpapanek@depaul.edu) and lists the school office art@depaul.edu; studio checkout is the AV assistant in room 330A
- No closure or retirement language on department pages reviewed May 2026
