Originally launched last year as a small facility with only five computer units, the DMAD laboratory has now grown into a full-blown training laboratory with 21 units of high-performance AMD Athlon 64 bit processor Red Fox-based PC systems.

Located at the second floor of the Commission on ICT's (CICT) National Computer Center (NCC) building at the University of the Philippines in Quezon City, the DMAD laboratory is expected to advance the ICT (information and communications technology) skills of Filipinos, mainly in digital media arts such as animation, digital fine arts, and video editing, among others.
