Augie welcomes new film production facilities

Augustana College on Friday morning celebrated the launch of its new film major and film production facilities at Sorensen Hall, at 38th Street and 7th Avenue, Rock Island.

The renovation of the first-floor space (formerly housing the college’s IT department, which moved to the basement level) included creation of a state-of-the-art production studio, with a 20-seat iMac lab, LED lighting grid, green screen, recording studio, professional equipment and private editing suite.
