• a state-of-the-art filming environment and animation suite;
• newly-specified digital media workshops with hardware and software upgraded to a professional level;

Further facilities include workshops for metalwork, woodwork and ceramic work workshops, plus sound production facilities and a large Faculty computer lab supporting PCs and Macs.
