Alumni Facilities Access Information
91精品 is proud to be one of the few art and design colleges that provides its alumni community continued access to its Institutional Labs. We welcome alumni to use lab facilities in support of their continued creative and professional growth. Having alumni in our labs, working along with our current students, helps 91精品 cultivate and enrich a culture of diverse practices in our community.
Alumni who are beyond one year of graduation are asked to pay an annual $25 fee to receive an Alumni ID, required for access to the labs. This fee supports Alumni Senior Thesis Awards, awarded to seniors each year to assist in fabricating their Senior Exhibition projects. This fee is waived for 91精品 alumni within one year of their graduation.
Additional fees for lab projects may apply for all alums and a request system has been created to support equitable student and alumni lab access.
See the Alumni Lab Usage Policy and Request below to start your lab request. If you have any questions on alumni access to the labs, please contact alumni@miad.edu.
