Multi-departmental Services and Facilities

Software for instruction
Divisional and departmental staff research and purchase dozens of titles of arts-specific software for labs, classrooms and checkout, from a variety of funding sources.

Classroom Support Services
There are several department classrooms and performance spaces with IT and projection equipment, and well as streaming media capturing equipment. Much of this equipment is specific to arts instruction. For example, instruction in art history requires equipment with greater color fidelity than is typically available; similarly, sound equipment for music instruction is often higher-end than is typically used in classrooms. Instruction on and maintenance of this equipment is provided by local IT specialist staff.

In-class Tutorials
All departmental and most divisional staff give in-class, small-group or individual instruction to students on hardware, software, digital media peripherals and procedures.

Support for Performance and Exhibition
Divisional and department staff provide support for instructional events such as the Art Department's Open Studios, Film and Digital Media screenings and digital media events, and performances in the Music and Theater departments. This support can range from a couple of hours to planning and execution over multiple quarters.

Door Security Systems
Omnilock (programmable door-lock) programming and maintenance for students and faculty are provided in Art, DA/NM, Film, History of Art and Visual Culture and Theater Arts.
