School of Design and Arts and MAC PRO evolution
The very first state of the art school in the Philippines is already amazing when you look at it outside. SDA (School of Design and Arts) or Camp Big Falcon as most Professors and students call it, is definitely remarkable and a breakthrough for how we look at college buildings. On the right is a picture of the College of Saint Benilde’s School of Design and Arts.
Looks great isn’t it? But wait! There’s more! Last school year, our professors went to Singapore to get the latest technology out there in the world that hasn’t reached the Philippines yet. (but actually, we have them now here. It’s just cheaper in Singapore) From the thousands of books ranging from 1,000 pesos to 10,000 pesos (20$ to 200$ US dollars) each to the 200 units of Mac PRO to fill out and replace the old computers in the lab!
You heard / read it right. APPLE MAC PRO! The world?s first 3.0GHz, 8-core Intel Xeon-based Mac Pro. What I am not sure is if those Mac Pro are 8-core or Quad-core, but whichever it is, it is a sure guarantee of at least a quad-core.
Another thing is if it’s a MAC PRO, did our chairman Sir Ram Nolasco ordered these top of the line Mac with the Adobe Creative Suite 3? In my opinion, yes! There’s no use getting a Mac Pro if the software is not the best as well.
I am now so excited to see the new labs for next term. Definitely, my 3D animation, Video Production and Web Development classes for next term will be very very exciting.
