The building where we are located is between the Student Center, which houses the
bookstore, and the main research buildings. We are across the street from the dental
school, hospital buildings and the Auditoria Center. Campus housing is within easy
walking distance.
Our current office and studio space was remodeled expressly for the unique needs of our curriculum and our students. There is studio space for each student, a fully-equipped computer laboratory, a library and a student kitchen.
Carrels are provided for each student in the Studio, providing them with a personal space for study and for working on assignments. Within the bounds of professional decorum, students are allowed to personalize their carrels. Sorry, no pets allowed. A wide array of anatomical models and medical paraphernalia is on display throughout the Studio and available for student use.
The computer lab houses our Mac and PC special-use workstations, such as the scanner station, as well as our high-resolution printers. Each student has an advanced Mac workstation in their carrel. We are fully networked at T1 speed.
The Library houses thousands of reference books and atlases, as well as an extensive catalog of audiovisual reference materials. In addition, the main campus library, the Robert B. Greenblatt, M.D. Library, is just down the street. The departmental Library also serves as our primary classroom. For teaching and presentation purposes, it is equipped with PC and Mac computers, internet connections and digital projection. As needed, we also utilize two state-of-the-art electronic classrooms located literally next door.
Each faculty member has a private office. However, we have an open door policy and in fact encourage student observation and questions as we prepare lectures and course materials.
The hallways are lined with the art collection of the David J. Mascaro Teaching Gallery. The artwork on display features outstanding examples of every major technique, genre and purpose. This collection spans nearly a century, from classical to contemporary. The Gallery is a unique and invaluable resource for our students.
