Our project was about choosing a place at CCA. While learning about the history of CCA, I found out some fun and interesting things about the MFA Design Studio. For me, it’s a space where I can work and brainstorm ideas. It’s also where all the MFA Design students hang out together. That’s why I chose the MFA Design Studio-I just feel really connected to it.
History of MFA Design STUDIO
How it was used in the PAST to CURRENT
Through my research, I examined differences in MFA Design studio usage across the years to identify lessons from the past that current students can apply today. This involved communicating directly with MFA Design alumni to gain deeper understanding and insights.

What is this project?
Who is it for?
Over the past few years, our MFA Design studio has lost students and day‑to‑day energy, partly due to the Covid era and shifting learning habits. I want to understand how students actually use this shared studio space, what they need from it to feel supported, and how we might redesign the studio culture to make collaboration and informal learning easier.
What is Studio culture to you?
What stood out to you in the video about how alumni use the MFA Design Studio?

After seeing the video, what one idea or change you like to see in the studio's future?
