MDes Studio & Facilities

While enrolled in the MDes, Jacobs Hall and Wurster Hall become your second homes. With its focus on studio practice, hands-on learning, and collaboration, the MDes demands a high level of commitment and engagement. In a given day, you may find yourself debating with a leading practitioner in a seminar room in CED’s Wurster Hall, assembling a drone for medicine delivery at your dedicated studio desk, or testing an augmented reality experience in Jacobs Hall’s visualization lab.
