Built Environment Innovation Lab
The Built Environment Innovation Lab, located on the ground floor of the Architecture (640) Building on the Marietta Campus, combines a full woodshop (with equipment for cutting, shaping, joining, sanding, CNC routing, and detailed hand‑tool work) with a multi‑material fabrication and assembly space. Additional advanced resources include large‑format 3‑axis and 5‑axis CNC systems and a KUKA robotic arm for large‑scale 3D printing, machining, and automated construction workflows.
Building Management Systems Lab
The Johnson Controls Building© Management System (BMS) is a computer-based control system donated and installed by Johnson Controls© to demonstrate the monitoring and controlling of mechanical and electrical equipment in both commercial and industrial buildings. The system includes measurement sensors and controllers for lighting, fans, valves, dampers, and fire systems.

Construction Management Demonstration Lab
The CM Demo Lab offers students hands‑on interaction with real construction systems and components. In this space, students explore operational HVAC units to observe how temperature changes within an active system and examine industry‑built plumbing assemblies that expose elements typically hidden behind walls, using professional testing equipment. Designed to accommodate up to 24 students, the lab also supports faculty and student research in structural analysis, building systems, and environmental controls, providing an applied learning environment that bridges classroom concepts with real‑world building technologies.
Design Analytics Lab
The Design Analytics Lab, located in the Textile (650) Building on the Marietta Campus, houses the college's VR/AR equipment, including 10 HTC VIVE headsets and 6 Trimble HoloLens 2 AR machines. Computers supporting higher specifications support the higher-demand rendering needs of AR/VR to support special classroom related needs, or to support special exploration and research needs of faculty. Additional, this space features a library of Arduino microcontroller components to support electronic prototyping, for special interactive and responsive architectural model models and mock-ups of larger-scale automation projects.
Digital Fabrication Lab
CACM’s Digital Fabrication Lab, located on the 3rd floor of the Architecture (640) Building on the Marietta Campus, provides professional‑grade tools for small‑ to medium‑scale model making and prototype development, enabling students and faculty to efficiently transform digital designs into physical prototypes. The lab supports a wide range of materials, from paper and plastics to composites, and features a printer farm with more than 30 FDM 3D printers, specialized resin and large‑format printers, a vacuum former, and eight CO₂ laser cutters, including a 36" × 48" large‑format system.

Media Lab
CACM’s Media Lab, located on the 2nd floor of the Architecture (640) Building on the Marietta Campus, provides professional‑grade equipment for large‑format printing and high‑resolution scanning. Additionally, the lab offers students and faculty a small photography studio equipped with studio lighting and interchangeable backdrops, ideal for documenting physical models, furniture, and other design work, enabling users to capture and present project imagery with professional clarity.
