One of them is an interactive gallery of student projects, which will consist of a superstructure made up of transparent wall panels and column twists. Another is The Brain, a collaborative inter-connected gamer environment which will feature furniture that will support dual touch-screen monitors on each student station. An Incubator Room is where animation and gaming professionals will instruct students using technology that allows for graphics and sketches to be drawn atop changing backgrounds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other amenities will include a motion capture studio, sound engineering and color correction suites, and a screening hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Wilkinson and to Senior Director of Campus Administration, Cristina Mateo, construction of MAGIC will be completed by 2015.
