As a GD student, you’re provided with a dedicated workspace that you can customize to make your own. The workspaces are one-of-a-kind units, built with repurposed timber sourced from demolished houses in the local Cleveland area and designed by our talented studio neighbors in the Industrial Design program. The units are modular, allowing for a variety of different configurations that create a dynamic and collaborative studio environment.
Other distinctive GD facilities include: a newly launched makerspace, featuring a Risograph, binding machines and other print production equipment, a lightbox for documenting work, and an industrial sewing machine; as well as a letterpress print shop that we share with Printmaking, complete with three Vandercook printing presses and all of the hot metal type you’d ever need.
Beyond what’s offered as part of GD, you’ll have access to a wide range of making tools and creative spaces across campus, including an array of professional production equipment in the Digital Output Center, wood and metal fabrication studios, and exciting emerging technologies in the Interactive Media Lab, a brand new facility opening in the spring of 2025.
