The Viz Lab is a limited-access, interdisciplinary faculty research facility. The lab is staffed Monday through Friday from about 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. Individuals working in the lab may not grant entry to others and if found to do so may jeopardize their own access privileges.
Those applying for summer grants must also complete the summer grant application form. If the summer project is different from the project for which access was most recently awarded, the applicant may submit supplementary information as to what the new project will entail.

Food is not to be brought into the lab. Liquids should be in spill-proof containers.
No software, hardware, or other equipment in the VDIL may be modified in any way by users in the room. Requests to add or modify software, hardware, peripherals or other equipment shall be directed to the VDIL coordinator.
Personally-owned equipment may be stored in the VDIL, if necessary. In order to prevent loss, this equipment must be and stored in the researcher's locked storage area. Coordinate with the VDIL coordinator to obtain a key for one of the storage areas in the VDIL.
If the equipment cannot be locked up, it must be marked with the owner's or the department's identification. The VDIL will not be responsible for personally-owned items that are left in the lab. Damage or loss is the responsibility of the item's owner.
The VDIL owns several cameras and associated peripherals. These may be checked out with the VDIL coordinator.
The VDIL staff are happy to help researchers develop and produce posters to help promote projects done with VDIL resources. Although we are not staffed to provide full production like a print shop, we are glad to facilitate printing. Researchers wishing to print should reserve machine and staff time and must be present to make sure that their poster is printing appropriately and to learn the rudimentary aspects of printing, as this is a research and learning lab.Printing in the VDIL is reserved for those people who have pre-approved VDIL projects, and print jobs should relate to these projects.
The VDIL will pay for a variety of papers and inks to keep on hand to allow for experimentation and production of small numbers of copies (1-3). Users will provide paper and ink for special, large projects where use of this printer is approved by the Executive Committee. Multiple copies of posters or other large printings will be sent to the UMD Print Shop in the Kirby Plaza.
We will redirect all other request for student poster design support to the UMD Print Shop.
