The Adobe Creative Space of the Innovation & Research Commons is an open-access learning space for Auburn students, faculty, and staff dedicated to providing Auburn students with digital creation skills and technology. This area, as well as online resources here, promote the digital literacy of our students to encourage their success both in their coursework and in their careers. Creative co-working space and computing is available in the Adobe Creative Space on a first-come first-serve basis with priority given to users actively working in Adobe Creative Cloud; instructional sessions by I&RC staff have first priority.
Computers in the Adobe Creative Space and in the I&RC have Adobe Creative Cloud applications already installed via a Shared Lab license, which allows users to access them on those machines only, via an Adobe ID including a 'free' Adobe ID that can be created on the spot. If accessing Adobe apps via a 'free' Adobe ID, users will need to save any created files in other storage such as Box or OneDrive. Students are encouraged not to use the 'free' Adobe ID and to request their Auburn Adobe ID at: https://adobe.auburn.edu.
