Multimedia Resources Center (MRC)

In order to best serve the needs of our faculty, staff, and students, the Multimedia Resources Center (MRC) has  relocated to the space previously occupied by the Interactive Learning Center (ILC) on the 1st floor of the Ayala Science Library across from the Ayala Science Library Lobby entrance.  See http://www.lib.uci.edu/about/visit/docs/floorplan-science-1st-floor.pdf for its exact location.  This move allows us to provide longer hours of operation during the week along with more than doubling our current weekend hours.
