University
College Worcester has recently unveiled their new state of the art
Digital Arts Centre at the
main UCW campus to house a range of new courses.
The
centre also offers facilities for the local community and industry.
This
new facility, costing almost a million pounds, houses multimedia
computers, scanners and printers.
The
centre also contains sound and video recording and editing equipment
in specialist studios.
There
is also a large digitally enhanced performance and video recording
space.
The
space includes lighting rigs, blue screen technology and sound recording
facilities.
These
allow the production of innovative work using industry standard
software.
The
studios contained in the DAC will be used predominately for workshops,
self-directed study, learning team meetings and other group work.
Several
of them will be open access at all other times between 9.00am and
9.00pm.
Students
will also be able to access most of the studios during weekends.
There
is also a computer centre for the whole college, which all students
can access.
The
centre is networked throughout the institution, which provides JANET
as a resource.
The
library and resources centre also has computers available to students
and provides scanning facilities along with Desktop Publishing.
It
also provides additional still and video cameras for students on
a booking-out system.
The
Digital Arts Centre will also have full disability access by the
end of phase two (September 2004) by the fitting of a lift to the
first floor.
