How to borrow equipment from the Glendon Digital Media Lab

  • All students and faculty members can borrow the equipment located at the Glendon Digital Media Lab (GDML) located in YH 144.  
  • Students and faculty staff need there YorkU account and password to borrow equipment from the GDML.
  • They can use the GDML equipment for extracurricular projects. By working in the lab you are automatically granted remote access to all GDML computers PC & Mac. (all equipped with Adobe Creative Suite licenses). For more information, contact glmedialab@glendon.yorku.ca.
