Facilities

DSI facilities support active learning and collaboration. Besides the main classroom and a state-of-the-art theater with hybrid online capabilities, our dedicated studio includes flexible, collaborative learning spaces with whiteboard and chalkboard walls, a quiet room for study and meditation, a communal kitchen, individual lockers, and an audio/video lab.

Students can access the Visible Futures Lab which offers tools and advisors for fabrication projects along with fellow SVA students from Interaction Design and Products of Design who share the lab.

DSI students have access to all SVA’s secure facilities 24-hours a day during the school year with the exception of holidays.
