A University of Mary Washington building created to embrace the future is flashing back to its past.<\/p>\n

A new Hurley Convergence Center (HCC) exhibit \u2013 \u201cA Decade of Digital Convergence\u201d \u2013 celebrates the first 10 years of a space meant to tap into emerging technology, bring a campus together and break ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Convergence Center introduced the UMW community to a wide array of technologies and opportunities that simply hadn\u2019t existed before and in a format that didn\u2019t exist at other schools at the time,\u201d Chief of Staff and Vice President of Strategy Jeffrey McClurken said during the exhibit\u2019s opening reception last month. Then special assistant to the provost for teaching, technology and innovation, McClurken served on the building\u2019s planning committee and oversaw its opening.<\/p>\n

Architectural renderings, video collections, before-and-after photos and more tell the story of the HCC\u2019s quest to make state-of-the-art technologies and media tools accessible to the campus community, while fueling a sense of connection, collaboration and creativity. Since the center first opened in August 2014, tens of thousands of students have pushed through its transparent front doors in search of essentials \u2013 cameras and tripods, microphones and audio recorders \u2013 they need for their projects, and the training it takes to bring them to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll get emails every day from somebody with an idea of something they want to do,\u201d Cartland Berge, director of the HCC\u2019s Digital Knowledge Center (DKC), said on a 2016 video called \u201cCreating a Buzz.\u201d It\u2019s one of several installations in the exhibit, on view in the Digital Gallery through the end of the year. \u201cMy job is to see \u2026 how we can use the equipment and facilities in the building to make what they\u2019re thinking of into a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally dubbed the Information and Technology Convergence Center, before being renamed in honor of UMW\u2019s ninth president, Richard V. Hurley, the four-story structure was strategically built to join Simpson Library via a hallway that hovers over Campus Walk. The HCC\u2019s 77,000 square feet house the versatile two-story Digital Auditorium, along with Digital Learning Support, the Speaking and Writing Center and various IT offices, including the Help Desk. Other specialized spaces include video production studios, a vocal recording booth, a podcasting studio and a multimedia lab, plus conference rooms, team rooms and classrooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe institution is one of the leaders in digital liberal arts, and this building was a way to try and move that forward by having facilities and people and support all in one place,\u201d said Director of Digital Learning Support Jerry Slezak.<\/p>\n

But the center has always been a work in progress, as depicted by an installation called \u201cThe HCC That Wasn\u2019t.\u201d Original designs called for a circular stairway, lobby \u201cemail bar\u201d and outdoor fountain, all re-envisioned for various reasons. Plans for a motion capture lab transformed into the more versatile Charnoff Production Studio in recognition of Mary Washington alumni Mikhael Charnoff \u201995 and Katherine Valentine Charnoff \u201904. And a student gathering space across Campus Walk became a \u201cDigital Caf\u00e9,\u201d now home to For Five Coffee.<\/p>\n

Photos show how present-day building spaces looked while under construction. A display case houses an assortment of artifacts \u2013 scrapbooks, pennants, buttons \u2013 forever preserved in the Simpson Library collection, thanks to the Digital Archiving Lab.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a teaching space,\u201d DKC Associate Director Shannon Hauser said of the building and its hands-on, forward-thinking approach.<\/p>\n

An ode to the HCC\u2019s two-story Media Wall \u2013 powered by a large-format projector and originally formed in a puzzle-piece shape \u2013 pays tribute to the visual content it\u2019s featured throughout its existence, including public domain movies, animated GIFs and student submissions. The wall itself is displaying student art projects developed specifically for the building\u2019s anniversary. Biology major Josiah Arnold, a senior, created a computer-generated video art piece that renders HCC locations from impossible viewpoints, and education and creative writing major Evelyne Breed, a sophomore, designed an LED light installation that winds around and \u201cconverges\u201d on the Media Wall.<\/p>\n

A miniature replica of the popular Console Living Room project that, at separate times, simulated living rooms of the \u201980s and \u201990s features a retro chair, chunky TV and Intellivision gaming console, thanks to the efforts of Communication and Digital Studies Associate Professor Zach Whalen. Even smaller, 3D-printed replicas of the HCC\u2019s red \u201cspin\u201d chairs \u2013 a pair of swiveling seats that capture constant attention from curious students \u2013 are available for visitors to take home.<\/p>\n

Through the past decade, the Hurley Convergence Center has welcomed outside events like the Electroacoustic Barn Dance, Open Education Resource Summit and\u00a0Digital Pedagogy Lab. Each year it hosts UMW traditions like the Summer Science Symposium, Research and Creativity Day and the James Farmer Multicultural Center\u2019s Civic Engagement and Leadership Summit.\u00a0Open 24\/7, it serves hundreds of students each day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a place where people can dive into a passion and pick up the tools to pursue it,\u201d Berge said. \u201cThey get the bug to create something they didn\u2019t know was possible. This is a place where that sort of magic can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
