The Darren Star Screening Room, located in Melnitz Hall, is a state-of-the-art 50-seat facility for film and television studies, screenings, and industry events. Opened in January 2015 through a donation from Darren Star, it features advanced projection and sound systems, including DCP/HD, Dolby 3D, Dolby Surround 7.1, and 35mm film projectors. The room also has high-definition video teleconferencing, linking it to the James Bridges Theater for various events. Designed by Clive Wilkinson and Associates, it serves as a hub for screenings, panels, and lectures.
