LOGAN CENTER LABS

Our labs offer maker-space for cinematic creation, digital fabrication & visualization, and experimentation.

In addition to the Film & Video Production Lab inside the Logan Center, the Arts Technologies team operates two Arts Labs at the Media Arts, Data, & Designer (MADD) Center in Crerar Library: the Hack Arts Lab (HAL) and the Weston Game Lab (WGL).

  • Hack Arts Lab (HAL)

    Located in the Media Arts, Data, & Design Center (MADD Center) in Crerar Library, the Hack Arts Lab (HAL) is managed by the Media Center and provides an open-access laboratory for creative digital fabrication and visualization. This maker space-styled workshop is designed to support a breadth of activity ranging from undergraduate projects to faculty-led exploration. HAL resources include 3D printers, laser cutters, soldering stations, workbenches, and micro-computing tools.

    Access to HAL resources is managed through the MADD Center Canvas course. Self-enrollment in the Canvas course is available via this link.

  • Weston Game Lab (WGL)

    Located in the Media Arts, Data, & Design Center (MADD Center) in Crerar Library, the Weston Game Lab (WGL) is a place for study, development, and play. Through the WGL, students, faculty, and staff will collaborate the research and development of games—whether digital, board, card, or alternate reality—that produce social impact or experiment with form. Participants will also be able to research the history of games from technical and theoretical perspectives, attend workshops that afford new development skills, and organize collaborative groups for game-based experiments.

    Access to many WGL resources is managed through the MADD Center Canvas course. Self-enrollment in the Canvas course is available via this link.
