Students are excited about this studio because it allows them to explore a medium that is both simultaneously becoming rarer and more popular. One of Moore’s biggest secrets is a top-notch wet darkroom. In addition, Moore has a free camera rental center, available to all students. The Photography students are often found in the Lighting Studio, which contains all the equipment necessary for any type of photoshoot imaginable. And the labs will soon have VR equipment. High in demand are the Wacom Cintiqs as well as computers equipped with Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Unity Game Engine, Unreal Game Engine, Toon Boom and ZBrush. These studios hold the latest technologies for digital art creation. The Digital Video and 2D Animation Labs are spaces heavily used by the Animation & Game Arts program. Many of the Moore programs utilize this space-at any given hour you might find a Fashion Design student and a Fine Arts student working side by side. These tools allow students to seamlessly integrate new technologies into their art practice. This studio holds a number of digital fabrication tools and equipment such as a 3D printer, a laser cutter and engraver, a digital embroidery machine and a CNC Router (a machine that is directed by a computer to cut wood). The most well-known and popular studio is the FabLab. These valuable resources exist throughout campus and sometimes students don’t even realize they are there until they take a specific course or elective.

In addition to traditional art school spaces such as painting and drawing studios, Moore College of Art & Design offers students a plethora of unique studio space options with state-of-the-art tools and equipment.
