Narrative
The Department of Visual Arts & Art History requests support for the purchase of new computers for classroom use in the VA (53) Studio Building and the T-10 Graduate Facility. Aside from other studio-specific computers, the units in the VA (53) Studio Building serve day-to-day instruction, and they are mounted on carts that can be moved about the flexible classroom spaces to fit relevant studio configurations. The carts themselves and their respective screens are already in place – what needs to be done is to replace the computers themselves, so that instruction can match current standards, and to replace some peripheral items that have worn out through use. The classroom studios are also used by student clubs (e.g., Painters’ Forum, Potters’ Guild, Printmaking Club) and for guest lecturers. Cost and use estimates are given in the Hardware Requirements section: it appears that approximately discrete 1405 student-uses (e.g., a student in the classroom for a full semester; certainly, many students would use more than one facility at a time) could be served at a cost of just over $13 per student-use. The units in the T-10 facility, which is far from other department areas, serve the graduate students in our MFA program that have studios in the building and graduate and advanced undergraduate classes that are held there. Currently, these visual arts students are using hand-me-down computers from earlier studio upgrades. The estimated regular use by at least 20 students would bring the annual cost per student in this facility to approximately $576.50. The overall cost for both facilities would be just over $21 per student.
Facilities
