(340 Hopkins) Opening in Autumn of 2024, our goal is to nurture an innovative living art lab for the artistic exploration of non-human systems of intelligence and creativity. We also hope to serve as an intellectual hub for research at the intersection of art, ecology, biology, and sustainability, among other fields.
Classroom Computer Labs:
(354 & 356 Hopkins) Each lab is packed with either Mac or PC workstations (respectively). Software includes MAX8, Autodesk Maya, Maxon Cinema 4D, Processing, Unity Game Engine, Adobe Creative Suite and the Arduino IDE.
(180 Hopkins Annex) through the College of Arts & Sciences Technology Services, is a space where students and faculty alike can get hands on with the latest technology, without having to take on the high costs associated with the technology itself. This includes virtual and augmented reality technology. The Emerging Technology Studio (ETS) is located in the Hopkins Hall Annex 180.
Digital Print Lab:
(374 Hopkins) Located within and overseen by the Photography area, the Digital Print Lab is a resource shared by the entire Fine Arts community. Here you will find a number of large-format Canon printers, including an imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 and 2 imagePROGRAF PRO-4100s. Color accuracy can be checked by utilizing the GTI Vertical Wall Viewing System with multiple temperature controls.
(166, 172, 175 and 176 Hopkins) Is a resource shared among all students of Fine Art as well as all students of Design. The SADR facilities comprise a diverse range of spaces, including the Wood Shop, Digital Fabrication Studio, Metals/Moldmaking Room and the CNC Room. The list of available equipment is too long to list here, but some highlights include a 4×8 Shopbot CNC router, two Epilog laser cutters, FDM and resin printers, a vinyl cutter, and a deep selection of niche woodworking tools.
