Ground Connections (DMC)

Centering students from all disciplines and backgrounds, we support courses and provide a wide range of learning opportunities in the Gallery, GroundworksFabrication Underground, Design Labs 1&2 and CCA Gallery. Our professional staff have expertise in digital modeling, fabrication, 3D printing, image creation, video and audio production, exhibit design, and more.

Our Mission: to address our immediate and critical responsibility to promote climate and social justice, we engage, empower and learn from constituents, including those who might not otherwise find their way to the DMC; and we work to carry DMC resources into communities where they might not otherwise find their way.
