The Visual and Performing Arts Department just installed the new 3-D Printer, the MakerBot - Replicator 2.  Stop by the Sculpture studio to see it in action!

Before attending the IIDA event yesterday, Virginia and students Geoff and Heather visited the HIGH LINE. It is an elevated park in the city, with integrated seating, wonderful lighting and landscapes.

"The  High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above  the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and  maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line. Founded in 1999 by  community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line’s  preservation and transformation at a time when the historic structure was under
 the threat of demolition. It is now the nonprofit conservancy working with the  New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to make sure the High Line  is maintained as an extraordinary public space for all visitors to  enjoy."

Check out the design and history behind this magical place.
