The Digital Technology Office supports Digital Labs throughout the School of Art. The Digital Labs consist of Macintosh®-based facilities for undergraduates and graduate students from all areas of study. Each department has its own computer lab for graduate work, and there is an undergraduate graphic design lab as well. For general classroom use there is a computer lab that includes scanners and printers.

Painting and printmaking students have an Epson 7600 set up for digital printing and transparencies for printmaking processes. Sculpture students have both monochrome and color laser printers as well as video editing stations. Graphic design students can use HP monochrome printers for proofs, Ricoh or Canon color laser printers for smaller work and books, and HP Designjet printers for poster production. Photography students have an Imacon scanner for digitally scanning negatives and Epson 9800 printers for digital photo printing.

The graduate facilities include Epson 7600 wide-format printers, 11×17 scanners, and additional equipment based on the needs of the students in the department. Supplemental equipment includes laser printers, video editing stations, and slide scanners.

Digital projectors and equipment are available for overnight loan. All students who work digitally are expected to have their own portable FireWire hard drive to store personal work.

All computer facilities are available to students twenty-four hours a day; departmental access is required for some labs. The labs are supported by digital technology team members and have individual student monitors as well.
