Where We Work
MAT classes are held in building 28, the Media Arts building, on the Oceanside campus (OC28). Brand new in Spring 2025, the Media Arts building is a multi-disciplinary facility with two distinct halves; one side is dedicated to the Media Arts and Technologies (MAT) departmental instruction, while the other half supports the Art Department gallery and a Film classroom. There are three instructional computer classrooms and a dedicated green screen video production room. These hyflex instructional spaces are equipped with high-end data projectors, hyflex A/V systems, large screen TVs, high-end computers, large format printers, dry mount presses, cutters, scanners, and other support hardware.
There is a dedicated Macintosh classroom (OC28103), a dedicated PC classroom (OC28102), and a cross-platform (Mac / PC) classroom production room (OC28104) built for collaboration. System specs are capable of video and 3D rendering, and they provide students with access to every major platform and software version currently used in the field. We also have a dedicated video edit bay and podcasting equipment.
Every effort is made to ensure that students have access to the latest software and hardware used in the industry. The computers and software in the classrooms are regularly updated to remain on the cutting-edge and reflect industry standards.
