Facilities
The Centre for Digital Media was designed to cater to the specific needs of digital media students. In addition to 76 on-site student housing units, the CDM features the following amenities:
Wireless internet throughout the entirety of the Centre
Classrooms feature full Dolby 5.1 capabilities, high-end wall projectors, Blu-ray playback, multi-modal jack in capability and most surfaces are projectable.
The Information Resource Centre (IRC), forms the hub of the Centre for Digital Media’s growing library of resources, including video games, books, films and magazines. The game collection is stocked with an extensive selection of current and past video games supporting all platforms. The available books and magazines range in subjects from improvisational and pitching techniques, to film production and editing, and from texts on specific software suites to studies in game design. The film library covers a broad range as well.
For filmmaking and editing, the Centre features a 10,000 square-foot creative space dubbed “The Hangar” housing a large filming area complete with a large green screen. Additionally, a smaller, portable green screen and lights are available. Film editing and rendering, as well as 3D modeling are made easier through the use of the Centre’s 280-core render farm, which supports Maya, 3DSMax, After Effects, and Blender. There’s also a private recording and editing studio.
Students have access to many facilities of the partner institutions and through the Management Services Agreement with Simon Fraser University are enrolled as students with access to student privileges including UPASS, health insurance, and library access.
