Second Floor

Almost as busy as the third floor, the second floor of CalArts houses a mix of production and fabrication spaces, as well as places used by every student like the Library, the Writing Center, the Bijou Cinema, the Student Union, the CalArts Store, and Tatum Lounge/Coffee Bar.

Scene Shop & Welding Lab

The School of Theater maintains a dedicated 24/7 scene shop that consists of a wood shop, a metal shop, a CNC room, an OSHA-approved spray booth and finishing area, material storage areas, and assembly areas. The scene shop is staffed by a full-time scene shop manager with faculty overseeing student projects/production on a daily basis.
