Word of Advice:
The Production Office has a low supply and a high demand. They operate off of a first come first serve basis. The sooner you get the request in the better chance you have of receiving the equipment you want. Do not wait until the last minute to request equipment it will eliminate unneeded stress. PLAN AHEAD!
Also, allow time when you pick up equipment. There is often a line, so don’t schedule a pick up time when you are in a hurry.
