Not only were single departments requesting much of the same equipment, but they were offering courses that overlapped considerably with one another. A series of discussions among all six departments in the first three months of 1996 led to a proposal for a shared facility that would not only leverage maximally the School's resources but foster a vigorous discussion among areas that had previously believed they had little in common. In addition to its course offerings, the Center will be the home for a growing number of artistic and research projects undertaken by faculty within the School. A major project built around 3-D virtual environments and motion capture has been launched by Professor Rebecca Allen with the support of the Intel Corporation.
Additional projects are in the planning stages.
The Center's focus grows in large part out of the focus of the School. About the CDA's Facilities Please contact us to arrange for a tour of our facilities.
