Biographical / historical:

Media Services (also referred to as Duke Studios) provides broadcast quality media production services to all parts of the Duke University community. Duke Studios was established in 1980 as an audio production facility in the Biddle Building on East Campus. In 1989, it moved to the Bryan Center on West Campus. It has expanded its services to include video and audio production and post-production (including event documentation), project design, production equipment rentals, tape duplication, custom CDs and DVDs, and computer graphics and animation.

Media Services was formerly known as Technical Services and was a division of Auxiliary Services. Media Services and Technical Services later became two separate departments within Event Management, a Division of Auxiliary Services. Technical Services provides technical support services including audio-visual rentals, sound reinforcement, and audio-visual maintenance and support in many campus facilities. Technical Services assists departments and student organizations throughout the Duke campus including Duke Athletics, academic classes and meetings, student organized bands and speakers, and sound systems for University-wide events such as Graduation and Convocation.
