Studios and resources

Fabrication labs and studios

The Fine Arts department is located in East Campus Hall (ECH), a retrofitted former warehouse perfect for studio production. The department encompasses about 30,000 square feet of studios, lecture halls, workshops, galleries, and offices.

Fine Arts houses an impressive array of resources, equipment and tools for students working with digital, analogue and fabrication-based processes. Recent acquisition highlights include a SawStop table saw, an Epilog laser cutter and a professional video kit that includes Canon’s C100 Mark II and a handheld gimbal steady-cam.

Visual Resource Centre

The Visual Resources Centre is located in ECH 1216 and is open daily, Monday to Friday, from 9:00 am until 4:30 pm. It houses our reading room, slide and film collections, and a digital image database. Jean Stevenson, our full-time visual resources curator, oversees this area offering students and faculty individual help with their research.

Life Drawing Sessions

The department regularly offers non-instructional drawing sessions with unclothed models.  Check the department event listings or view the Spring 2017 poster for more information.
