Facilities and Resources

Champlain's outstanding teaching and production facilities include a wide range of both Macintosh and PC-based rooms, all of which are available to CCM students on a 24-hour basis (including our newly renovated Perry Barn Studio). Our Macintosh design classrooms in the Ireland building (rooms 012, 014, 015) and Hauke building (room 208) accommodate our courses in graphic design and digital media, interactive media, and media production.

Game design and game art students spend most of their time in the PC-based facilities in Hauke 008 and Foster 104. These rooms are accessible on a 24-hours basis and are outfitted with top-of-the-line machines and software, including game consoles and graphics tablets. Game students also have access to 4 production workstations in our newly renovated Perry Barn Studio.

Traditional art spaces are located in the Hauke building. Room 208 holds classes in drawing and sculpture (including our regular life drawing sessions), and Room 205 houses our photo lab and darkroom facilities. Our students are also able to take advantage of a partnership between Champlain College and Burlington City Arts where, just a few blocks from campus, our students have access to painting, print making and out traditional arts facilities. Digital Filmmaking and Broadcast and Streaming Media students take advantage of a dedicated film classroom in Foster 101, and a sound stage/studio, audio lab and video editing systems in the Alumni Auditorium building.

Media Services - CCM students have the ability to check out and use a wide range of production equipment, including professional quality and pro-sumer video camera kits, light kits, audio kits, steady cams, and more.

Emergent Media Center - Students from a wide range of CCM majors (especially game design and game art) spend time working at the Emergent Media Center in Winooski (about 10 minutes away from campus). Set up in the same way as a game design studio, the EMC provides outstanding workspaces for students engaged in EMC projects.
