GENERAL CONDUCT

  • DE Studios is a drug-free/smoke-free environment. 

  • All food and drinks must be kept in designated areas. 

  • We love pets, but unfortunately our building management doesn't.  All pets must be kept outside. 

  • We want your feedback.  Tell us how we did through e-mail, Yelp, Facebook or Twitter.
