Walking by the Ansin Building, which is right across the street from the MBTA Boylston train station, you'll pass by hordes of students and professors catching up on campus news or rushing to get to their next class. The music you hear emanating from the building, day and night, comes from Emerson's award-winning radio station, WERS 88.9 FM. You might overhear a student DJ interviewing an up-and-coming artist, selections from your favorite '80s album, or some a cappella music.

Students can work on papers at one of the building's computer labs, fine-tune documentaries in the film and video editing rooms, and finish group projects at the new media group workstations. In addition to the newly established Emerging Media Lab, Ansin also includes a DVD authoring suite, digital audio recording and editing suites, augmented reality and virtual reality suites, and classrooms. The offices of the President, Academic Affairs, Professional Studies and Special Programs, the School of the Arts, the Registrar, and the Academic Advising Center are also located in Ansin.
