The Department is located mainly in Hopkins Hall on the main Ohio State campus, with some studio space and offices in nearby Hayes Hall. Hopkins Hall houses three floors of studio space, laboratories, offices and a model shop.

The department maintains an Undergraduate Computing Lab made up of two suites, each equipped with Macintosh dual-boot computers (Windows XP-Pro and OS X). Both suites provide access to student server storage resources and site-licensed software that runs on one OS or the other. The software includes computer-aided design drafting, three-dimensional modeling, animation, graphic layout, typographic and image manipulation, and production of interactive communications for multimedia applications and the worldwide web.

Students and faculty also extensively use the resources of the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD), and the Emerging Technologies Studio (ETS), which provide sophisticated resources to further study computer graphics, animation, and virtual product and spatial simulations.

The department houses the Thomas and Kathleen Huff Lighting Laboratory, which is outfitted with state of the art lighting and lighting controls provided by Lutron, Inc., and which allows students to explore the physical and psychological effects of light and color on models and indoor environments.
