Darkroom:
Located in the Union, room 3410 (right by the elevator and Poly Office), is the RPI Darkroom. We have available an assortment of b&w projectors, a color projector, chemicals, tools, and everything a decent darkroom should have. If you have paid your membership dues, you can access the darkroom whenever the Union Games Room is open and asking for the darkroom key. You'll have to show your RPI id for this. Please knock on the inside darkroom door before entering!
