AAP Computer Labs and
Digital Classrooms

AAP Computer Labs

AAP offers several computer lab options. Whether you use CAD, GIS, 3-D modeling, Photoshop, or need professional printmaking, the labs are continually expanding to meet the growing needs of our students. Hardware and software are updated annually to ensure that the labs provide the latest equipment and opportunities for learning and instruction.

Tjaden Labs
Advanced Digital Media Lab (Room 221D)
ADM Lab offers advanced digital media services to all members of the Cornell community, and has the capability to create large-format prints that can approach the quality of photographic enlargements. You can print on a variety of media, including glossy and luster photo papers, heavyweight fine-art matte papers, canvas, and clear film. Digital prints are often used as the final output medium for work, or as elements to be further manipulated using photo, litho, or intaglio techniques. Print up to 44” x 85” at lifetimes ranging from 30-100 years, depending on the media. The lab's main goal is to provide as close to possible a professional printing environment. With color profiled monitors and 4700k Solex lighting we aim to match what you see on the screen to what you get on your paper. The entire labs is painted a neutral gray with a center pinup wall and plenty of pinup space around the outer walls for proofing. Our equipment enables students to more efficiently render large video’s or work on very large Photoshop documents. The room layout is a great combination of a teaching/collaborative/design studio space and is used equally among the three.
