Robotics Lab
- (160 Hopkins Hall): A clean project space for physical computing. Includes most everything needed for electronics work, including multimeters, soldering irons, fume extractors, power supplies, and oscilloscopes, as well as a variety of components, from resistors and sensors to stepper motors and LEDs. The lab also offers both Mac and PC workstations for programming microcontrollers.
A+T Equipment Cage
- (160 Hopkins Hall): Located in the Robotics Lab, the A+T Equipment Cage is a storehouse of digital and analog equipment that students can check out for project use. The list of offerings includes: Canon Rebel camera kits, LED lighting and strobes, Wacom drawing tablets, Roland digital recorders and microphones, portable monitors, and an array of projection options.
Green Screen Lighting Lab:
- (162 Hopkins) is jointly administered with the Photography area. This space provides backdrops, lighting, green screen suits, and gloves and allows our students to videotape and experiment with chroma keying and compositing.
Flex Space:
- (167 Hopkins Hall) Is a multi-purpose room that is available to host a variety of creative activities, from fabrication to performance. White walls lend themselves to exhibitions, while the unistrut grid in the ceiling is ideal for hanging complex or suspended works.
