Graphic Design and Photography BA(Hons): Facilities

Here is the range of facilities available to you as a student at Kingston that will help you during your course.

There is a wide range of facilities at our Knights Park campus, where this course is based. The Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture began an ambitious and ongoing programme of investment during 2007, making significant improvements to our workshops and other resources. These include:

• Faculty-wide technical resources available to students on all courses;
• significant improvements to the 3D workshops and investment in new equipment, including a CNC-controlled 3D router, a rapid prototyper 3D printer, a 3D scanner and a 2D plotter/cutter;
• a state-of-the-art filming environment and animation suite;
• an industry standard photographic suite with two new digital darkrooms;
• newly-specified digital media workshops with hardware and software upgraded to a professional level; and
• ongoing refurbishment of studios.

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.

You also benefit from:

• well-equipped lecture theatres, seminar rooms and workshops; and
• the library's extensive book and journal collection - as well as over 150,000 slides and visual references dating back to the 1600s.
