Many schools teach students to use software, but the School of Architecture and Allied Arts teaches students to be designers and creative decision-makers regardless of the tools they use. Students learn to explore new ideas through a combination of traditional methods and experimental techniques. Through work in animation, multimedia, graphics, computer-aided design, geographic information systems, and web publishing, students see how computer technology can extend capabilities and enhance understanding.

Most lecture rooms, studios, and review rooms are networked to support instructional technology and Windows or Mac OS computers. The University provides server accounts for e-mail and web pages. The school provides access to a full array of computing applications through its instructional and research laboratories located in Lawrence Hall, Pacific Hall, Hendricks Hall, and the Northsite complex. A&AA Computing Services staff maintain these resources as well as shared large-scale color plotters and high-resolution printers. Technical support is available through A&AA Computing Services, Information Services, and informal peer consulting.
