Walking into the first year CAP studio there is a lot to take in; desks, student work, clutter, and so much more. First of all, there are large desk designated to each student. On these desks you will find lots of energy drinks, as well as past work of the students, and a large drawing board. Many of the desks are cluttered and unorganized. The chairs to the desks are also chained to the desks, and the supplies are all locked up. The desks are separated into sections; each section is its own little family. Hanging from the walls and ceilings are many inside jokes from the sections. Also, on the walls of the studio student work is displayed. This includes many drawing and diagrams. These drawings are everything from black and white tiles of abstract pictures, to colored space diagrams. During holidays you can also find decorations hanging in each section, pumpkins for Halloween and lights for Christmas. This is one aspect that gives the students a family like feeling. There are no windows to the outside of the building, thus providing it with the title “the basement in the sky.” In the studio there are couches for students to rest on during their frequent late nights. There is always at least one student working in the studio at any given time.
