Facilities

ORAT maintains 6 computer labs for the College of Fine Arts, and assists with other technology rich spaces in the College:

Our main lab, CVA 138, offers both Mac and Windows machines, scanners, keyboards, and printing. All of the software we use in the College is represented in 138, and no classes are scheduled there, so you can nearly always find a spot to do your work.

CVA 140--(Macintosh G4) graphics and web applications. Many graphic design courses are taught in this space that offers access to software such as Quark, Photoshop, and Illustrator. The lab is open to students when courses are not scheduled in it.

CVA 45--(Macintosh G3) Graphic Design lab. A similar array of applications as found in CVA 140 are in CVA 45, which is devoted to graphic design, though photography has taught a course or two there upon occasion.

CVA 50--(Windows) Graphics, web, and digital audio; web broadcast possible; slide scanning available. Arts Technology and Art are the primary users of this lab, which is also an open lab when not in use by classes. We teach digital audio using Audition and Acid in this room.

CW 303A--(Macintosh G4) Theatre Design lab. Theatre students seem to work at all hours in this lab, which is also home to several Theatre Design classes that use Vectorworks, Lightwright, and Poser. We also have a single Windows machine in 303 to make Aaron Paolucci and his sound designers happy, as their preferred tool is Adobe's Audition.

CW 315--(Macintosh G5 and G4) Music lab. All Music majors are required to take one semester hour of instruction in this lab, which boasts new Mac G5s, midi keyboards, and a host of multimedia software, including Sibelius, Reason, Logic, and MaxMSP+Jitter. This is our most recently upgraded lab. Again, it offers open lab hours when courses are not meeting in the room.

We also have a digital audio lab/recording studio in CVA 15, which we will be expanding this year. We wish to create better a better recording facility and integrate more smoothly with the adjacent digital video lab (several Mac G4s, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, and one Avid station) operated by the School of Art.
