VAST Studio

The VAST (Visualization, Animation, Simulation Technology) Studio is an advanced digital imaging and animation lab.

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.
