Upgrade computer lab classroom: Graphic Design, Boca Campus, Building #53, Room 115
The graphic design computer lab classroom, building 53, room 115
consists of 20 computer stations. This classroom, on the average, serves
approximate 6 design courses per semester (approximately 80 students total in this
room alone in a department that serves roughly 700 majors in the BFA, BA and
MFA programs). The network laser printer, which is essential to all courses in
this classroom is no longer working.
Currently, students are unable to print their design projects on campus; instead, they must go to for-profit printing services off campus. Therefore, the request for a new printer is a high priority for fulfilling course objectives and program requirements. The requested item to purchase is the HP Laser Jet Networking Printer.
In this same lab, there is also a single 11 x 17 inkjet color printer,
which was purchased 4 years ago and which is beginning to show its age. This
color printer is used by primarily by students enrolled in lower-level design
courses. The request for a new inkjet color printer is also a high priority for
the purpose of fulfilling course requirements. This request therefore includes
the purchase of an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer, as well. The advantage of
this printer is the capability to produce poster-size designs. The prints are
long-lasting color reproductions that are superior to the prints from
lower-cost printers where the inks (and therefore the image begin to fade after
only a month. For students who are required to produce designs for portfolio
purposes, their reproductions need to be of a higher quality without the fading
of color.
In accordance with Goal 1 of the Strategic Plan, the proposed
upgrades to the graphic design lab will serve to greatly “enhance the
educational experience” of undergraduate students in the Department of Visual
Arts and Art History. This computer lab classroom for teaching, research
and creative activity will serve to attract the best qualified students by
offering facilities that are strongly competitive with regional and national
Tier 1 and 2 research institutions.
