VAST Studio
Location: SA-2411

The VAST (Visualization, Animation, Simulation Technology) Studio is an advanced digital imaging and animation lab.  The goal of the facility is to provide students with access to professional grade tools in a classroom environment.  With this in mind the Institute recently completed a equipment upgrade to support the new GSAS major as well as the existing EMAC and EARTS majors.  The newly upgraded facility has capacity for 24 students and 1 instructor.
