About the Fairbanks Center
The Fairbanks Center for Communication and Technology was
designed to be a facility where creativity and technology could
blend seamlessly, in an environment conducive to original thinking
and innovation.
Classrooms at Fairbanks are equipped with rich media computer
workstations. During class, students get hands-on experience and
training on the powerful media creation software applications that
drive today's communications, entertainment and Internet
industries.
The Fairbanks Center houses two full-size, multi-purpose studios
with lighting grids for video, television and music production. Our
professional control room and edit bays provide students the
opportunity to learn on the same gear and software packages they
will work with in the field.
Our three music and audio production studios feature industry
standard 24-track Pro Tools HD recording, with analog consoles from
Trident and Audient, and digital controllers from Digidesign. A
full complement of outboard gear, both vintage and new, gives
students the capability of producing professional class
recordings.
Students develop their skills in multi-track audio production,
sound design, audio for video, and mastering in studios with full
midi functionality, a professional array of synthesizers and
plug-ins, and 5.1 surround mixing capability. We also have many
private video and audio studios for individual study and project
work.
We understand that a comprehensive education in the disciplines
behind modern media requires up-to-date equipment and technology.
We are dedicated to providing our students with creative and
production experience that is relevant to the professions, on the
gear they will find in professional studios. Most importantly, our
students have open access to our studios, for class and individual
projects, which is a critical component to the process of learning,
experimenting and developing their individual skills and
styles.
