Resources

Our students have access to resources that strengthen and expand their education. Our output services, digital fabrication lab, extracurricular activities and learning opportunities off the mountain help fuel their creative growth.

Print Lab

The Synergy Lab provides professional 2D printing services for students, faculty, and staff, offering access to large-format and high-quality color printers. As a fee-for-service lab, it supports projects ranging from studio work to exhibition materials, with equipment including Xerox VersaLink and Epson SureColor printers. It’s a vital resource that produces polished, professional results.

DigiLab

The DigiLab is a creative workspace for hands-on exploration with digital fabrication tools. From 3D printing models and cutting woodblocks to etching images on glass or producing vinyl wall text, the lab opens up new possibilities for making. Equipped with professional 3D printers, a vinyl cutter, and a laser cutters, it provides access to cutting-edge technology enabling students to bring their ideas to life.

My travel opportunities stand out the most to me. We stayed at App’s New York Loft and got to explore. A visit to the Frick was incredible because we got behind the scenes experiences and saw the collection room and cataloguing taking place.

Expand the boundaries of what (and where) you’ll learn

Go for a a summer or a full semester to experience new cultures, explore global perspectives, and find fresh inspiration. Some recent trips include ones to Japan, Costa Rica, and Spain.

Learn off the mountain

Sometimes it’s good to get out of town and head off the mountain. Our students travel throughout the region and to New York City where they stay at App State’s loft in Manhattan. Whether they travel across the state or beyond, these adventures offer fresh perspectives and direct connections to the art world.
