Graduate Sculpture Facilities

Graduate Sculpture students have 24-hour access to large personal studios on the 3rd floor of the 808 building, approximately 250-350 square feet, in addition to larger communal project spaces. MFA students also have full access to a woodshop, printshop, and spray room adjacent to the studios.

With proper training, additional facilities available to graduate students include a welding shop, ceramics facilities, black-and-white darkrooms, digital media studios including vinyl cutters and 3d printers.

The Visual Arts Resource Library is a non-circulating collection of books, exhibition catalogues, directories, magazines, and sound and video recordings available for SVA students and faculty. In addition to housing an over 6,000-volume reference collection, the library’s digital resources include Apple desktop computers fully loaded with the Adobe Creative Cloud and a large-format digital scanner. A collection of digital equipment, including digital still and video cameras, digital projectors, audio recording equipment, lighting kits, and more, are available for short terms loans to SVA students and faculty.

With training, graduate students are also granted access to the Printmaking facilities on the 4th floor of the 808 Building, directly above the graduate studios. Printmaking facilities include etching, lithography, silkscreen, bookmaking, letterpress and digital print studios.

The Sculpture program regularly works with EPIC (Engineering Product Innovation Center), a pioneering facility at Boston University for fabrication that offers laser cutting, 3D printing, robotic manufacturing, and more.
