Technology and tools SCAD tech makes magic. At every location and online, in every discipline, SCAD students are educated through comprehensive curricula and sophisticated technology so that they may create their most ambitious visions. Designed to exceed the leading-edge resources found in top design firms and global headquarters, SCAD resources instill in-demand technological agility.

With licensure for more than 100 software packages and remote access to next-gen programs, SCAD ensures students can exercise their creativity to the fullest while learning virtually. Students link up to SCAD computer labs for building virtualization, film rendering, and computer animation with SCAD vLab, while technology like CLO 3D allows SCAD fashion students to create designs and patterns with rapid, true-to-life visualization. From anywhere in the world, SCAD students create captivating graphics and storyboards using Toon Boom, the same software used by leading animation producers. Students program 2D and 3D games and immersive environments with Unreal Engine and Unity and develop superior graphics using Cinema 4D and ZBrush. They also have access to a full music production suite with Ableton Live, the same program used by digital music impresarios like Diplo, David Guetta, and Deadmau5.
On-ground, SCAD buildings are teeming with technology and resources to educate and empower students. Start at Clark Hall, where energy-efficient features form a living laboratory for adaptive reuse and sustainable design. Head to Montgomery Hall, where SCAD students create digital worlds through augmented, virtual, and mixed reality equipment — part of a vast collection of Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Samsung Gear VR headsets available across locations. Enter the SCAD Digital Media Center in Atlanta or Savannah Film Studios in Savannah, where rising SCAD filmmakers and content creators produce and shoot projects with equipment rivaling Hollywood studios. Travel to Number Nine, where students sketch and print garments in a state-of-the-art digital textile printing lab. Across these SCAD spaces and more, next-level technology prepares students for the future of their chosen career paths.
