Resident and Project Spaces
Resident and Project Spaces
SCD provides resources to Resident teams and groups to help them along their creative endeavors, and these teams are a core part of how we bring multi-disciplinary guests from all around campus to the Center.
Collaboration Studios
Teams interested in becoming a resident of SCD should complete the form below so that we can collect information about your group. This will help us determine which studio your RSO will be assigned to, and get you on your way to receiving card access, lockers, space and all the other resident benefits!
After the form is submitted, our programming team will reach out to set up a meeting to get your organization all settled in. During this meeting we’ll review the use of space and have the main contact sign off on the relevant policies, help you pick out a locker and get your passcode set up, and work with your group to create branding for your locker.
SCD Resident Teams and RSOs
What is the SCD Residency Program?
SCD has developed a program for registered student organizations and project teams to become “residents” of one of the collaboration studios within SCD. The residency program is built to give dedicated space to project teams and provide opportunities for these groups to collaborate with each other in a shared space. Residents will have special access to SCD’s spaces and resources, all the while being a part of SCD’s community of collaborators. The residency program provides a “home base” for organizations that are cross-disciplinary, and creates a space and community where everyone can showcase their designs.
What are the benefits of being a resident?
Being a resident in SCD has its perks!
Residents of Twilight Studio will get a designated work space in the studio, as well as access to shared work areas and labs. Residents of Sunset Studio will have access to event and meeting space within the studio, along with shared workspaces. Moonlight Bay residents will have exclusive, secure access to the entire studio for the length of their residency.
Each resident group will also get assigned their own dedicated locker(s) for storing their items, along with the ability to utilize SCD’s mailing address for delivery of mail/packages.
Our SCD programming staff can also provide event planning support to those who need a little help getting their events off the ground.
And last but not least, SCD can provide marketing opportunities for resident events or activities. Promotional opportunities include: allowing internal posting and recruiting, social media exposure through SCD channels, allowing residents to “takeover” SCD’s socials for a period, or promoting resident events through the SCD newsletter and website.
What are the policies that residents must follow?
Residents are expected to follow the SCD Building Policies and Shop Policies (if applicable). Beyond the general building policies, SCD residents are expected to be good citizens of their respective studios by being respectful and mindful of others working in their shared space. Since residents will be sharing the space used for events and meetings, they are also expected to work with other groups utilizing the space to coordinate calendars and timelines of events.
While residents have special permissions to book space for themselves in both the studio and other SCD spaces, we ask that organizations use this privilege responsibly by not overbooking spaces so every resident can have equal opportunity and access to space throughout SCD. SCD reserves the right to cancel bookings as needed to ensure equal access among organizations.
Residents should use their card access to SCD’s studios and meeting spaces responsibly. This means only approved team members should be in restricted access spaces that require card access. These areas are locked in order to provide safe and secure spaces for resident groups. Please be sure to close all doors and lockers to be mindful of all residents in the spaces. Locked doors can never be propped open, unless permission has been coordinated with SCD for special events.
