What's in a name?

We tried for quite some time here at work to get a warehouse for storing all our prop, costume, and scenery stock. We were unsuccessful over and over until my boss had the stroke to stop calling it a warehouse - which is apparently unsexy.

This past summer we moved our stock into our "archival lending library."

I'm doing some future planning. Would you like to play a game? Match the facility purpose with the punched up title:

1. Stage Automation Classroom
2. Big Empty Room
3. Machine Shop
4. Electronics Shop
5. CAD & Drafting Classroom
6. Sign Shop
7. Digital Studio
8. Lighting/Projections Classroom

a. Entertainment Control Systems Integrations Lab
b. Electronic Multimedia Studio
c. CAD Design Studio
d. Entertainment Engineering Studio
e. CNC/CAM Studio
f. Mechanical Instrument Lab
g. Entertainment Systems Prototyping Lab
h. Intelligent Lighting Studio

See any facilities I am missing? Got a better name for any of these?

Can you think of a good way to try to sell this stuff? I am trying to punch up The Davinci Effect. Highlighting how art and technology collide to produce innovation. Got any thoughts?
