Darkroom T he darkrooms at SCHS are very old. Most are converted storage rooms from the days the lab was used as a printing shop. Windows have been blocked off with black plastic sheeting and a double door set up has been built to allows one door to open and then be closed before entry into the darkoom so light will not come in the door. Red light bulbs are used for safelights because they are inexpensive and outside of the range of visibility for photo paper. The lab has three different darkrooms.
Film is loaded in the old converted office.
This room has had the main windows and doors blocked with black plastic sheeting. The door is save except for the bottom space. Film will be safe in this room as long as it is kept on the desktop and not dropped to the floor. Be sure this door is locked as you close it so someone will not drop in on you when you have film out. At the end of class during the last 15 minutes each darkroom must be cleaned up.
