Iovine and Young Hall

Designed to act as a creative partner in the innovation process, Iovine and Young Hall provides critical support for Academy students as they bring their ideas to life. Engineered and designed to maximize collaboration and the unrestricted flow of ideas, the 40,000-square- foot building includes:

• • > Fabrication lab for metal, wood, plastics, and electronics
    > Rapid prototyping lab, including extensive 3D printing and laser cutting options
    > Large- and medium-scale 2D print lab
    > Multimedia lab for motion capture, photo, video, and audio
    > Adaptive studio/lecture classrooms
    > Alumni incubator for Academy student-founded companies
    > Small- and large-scale student break-out and conference rooms
    > Podcast booth
    > Cohort workshops and build facilities
    > 2nd floor outdoor lounge with views of Exposition Park and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

The vision for Iovine and Young Hall was to support and amplify the Academy’s integrated curriculum; student innovation and creativity; collaboration; and “serendipitous encounters” to inspire new ideas. The building design grew out of a rigorous programming and concept design effort in partnership with the Academy’s leadership, faculty, and students. The result is a state-of-the-art facility for instruction, design and fabrication, conversation and collaboration, and chance meetings that spark inspiration.
