Painting Facilities at BU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

STUDIOS AND SHOPS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Graduate Students have 24-hour access to individual studios on the third floor of the 808 Building, approximately 250-350 square feet each. Most have natural light with views of Boston and Brookline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate students have full access to their own woodshop, printshop, and spray booth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With training, graduate students are also granted access to the Printmaking facilities on the 4th floor of the 808 Building, directly above the graduate studios. Printmaking facilities include etching, lithography, silkscreen, bookmaking, letterpress and digital print studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional facilities available to graduate students include a fully equipped woodshop, welding shop, ceramics facilities, black-and-white darkrooms, digital media studios including vinyl cutters and a Risograph printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students frequently utilize the Engineering Product Innovation Center (EPIC),<\/a> a 15,000-square-foot, $9 million facility on Commonwealth Avenue, just steps from the School of Visual Arts. This state-of-the-art facility features everything from laser etching to rapid prototyping, allowing designers to collaborate with engineering staff and students to see their projects through all stages of hands-on production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
