Fabrication Studios facilities are valuable, complex, and diverse resources used by a large portion of the MICA community. The studio shop environments are that of a creative studio and an industrial workspace. A creative studio environment allows for all constituents to be comfortable and openly creative. This serves as an open forum for us to share ideas, theories, and constructive criticism that is imperative for the success of a studio atmosphere. An industrial workspace provides constituents with the tools and resources necessary for fabrication processes. This environment requires specific habits and procedures to ensure safety and productivity. As a successful studio community we must all participate in maintaining the integrity of these environments.

There are two types of facilities within the Fabrication Studios; campus wide-studios and departmental studios. Access to departmental studios is mostly limited to department majors or students enrolled within a departmental course. Campus-wide studios are open to all current MICA students (graduate and undergraduate) that have received relevant technical instruction through coursework. All studios have a Studio Manager that plays a key role in the success of the shop and its community.
