BIA is designing a new suite of high-tech teaching and testing spaces in support of FSU’s new Game Design curriculum. Situated within FSU’s Conlon Hall, home of the Communications Media Studies Department, the Gaming Lab supports an emerging area of expertise to meet the opportunities of the world-wide gaming industry. The Gaming Lab includes fully equipped computer labs, game testing spaces, a motion capture studio and a “front porch” lobby/lounge that is envisioned as a catalyst for bringing building occupants together in a casual, engaging setting. Each space incorporates interactive surfaces including magnetic glass markerboards and dry erase paint to create more collaborative, innovative learning environments.
