The Roser ATLAS Center Includes:

• Technology-enhanced, active-learning classrooms for use by all disciplines in on-site and distance education, including two 40-student classrooms, two 25-student classrooms, and two computer labs/classrooms. Classes are scheduled via a proposal process twice a year. Preference is given to courses that make the most of the technology.

• The two-story 2,700- square-foot Black Box Experimental Studio performance space with digital technology for interdisciplinary creative work with musicians, dancers, visual artists and technology, visiting artists, Web casts, interactive audio and visual performances, video production, and cinema projection.  The Black Box Experimental Studio supports 360° HD projection, 5.1 and 8.1 audio configurations as well as DMX and MIDI controlled lighting and audio systems. This allows state of the art theatrical productions and offers  creative flexibility in design and implementation of hardware and software control interfaces. A 1,000 sq. ft. (12 ft. to grid) fully equipped three camera broadcast television production studio lies adjacent to the Black Box performance space. more …
