2. FULL ACCESS PART 1& 2: You will need to complete the Entry orientation to access the Full access orientation which will grant you access to the printers. Give you the ability to sign up for the Risograph Orientation.
3. REFRESHER: This is available to all who completed the old Entry orientation last semester (Fall 2023 / Spring 2024) to regain access to the Design Lab. This year’s refresher is identical to the FULL ACCESS PART 2 module.

The Design Lab is a 2D digital production space. We provide access to design tools, software, equipment, and printing services around the creative printing needs of all students in the New School. Students get to bring their own paper and experimental materials to print on our vast array of printers. Besides the common printers you encounter throughout the school, the laser and inkjet printers, we offer access to unique machines like the Risograph printers, Vinyl Cutter, Roll scanner, Solvent Printer (For sticker Printing Only), Dye Sublimation Printer, and the UV Printer. Students have access to booklet production tools and other resources to produce a book. Technicians are on duty during open hours to assist you with how to properly and safely use the resources in the space.
