Photo Presentation Facility

The Photo Presentation Facility, located on the first level of building 05, is open to all CAED students. They may use this facility to document their projects, prepare for presentations, archive work for their portfolio; make black and white prints, mount drawings; digitize images for web sites or presentation and generally manipulate images for their academic needs. In addition, it supports the Architecture Department's photography courses.

The Lab staff is experienced in assisting students with all aspects of the photographic process needed by the typical CAED student. From taking the photograph to printing the image, the facility provides students with either the resources or information to actualize their graphic and/or visual presentation projects.
