The Michelle Smith Collaboratory for Visual Culture is a new
facility in the Department of Art History and Archaeology,
made possible by the generosity of the Robert H. Smith
family. The space includes several rooms of varying sizes
configured to provide the flexibility and adaptability expected
in today's learning spaces.
The center of the Collaboratory, both conceptually and
physically, is a large room containing a floor-to-ceiling
curved projection surface and a comprehensive technology
installation to support ambitious projects, such as effective
virtual reality and multi-modal displays. The facility is
designed to encourage and promote new understandings
through visualization.
