Summary

This is part 5 of 12

Located across the road from the Yamasa II building, the multimedia studio is located in a renovated Japanese house. This house is the oldest of the 4 buildings on the campus, however it is actually the leading edge of some of the Institute's programs providing much of the technical support and expertise.

The traditional tatami matting has been removed and the floor elevated to accommodate the large quantities of fiber-optic cable and pipes that the studio requires. This is where a significant part of the yamasa.org website, publications, online learning resources and student email systems are constructed or maintained. The technical support for the Online Center for Japanese Studies - particularly regarding streaming video and video editing is based here.

Inside the studio itself there is a large number of PC's and Macintosh computers, scanners, color copiers and associated infrastructure. All of the support staff are full time. Yamasa is the only Japanese language school with these services.
