The costume shop (W542), craft room (W540), storage spaces and costume cages (W531), managed through the Department of Drama, provide the tools and space necessary to create, repair and maintain costuming materials for production and class use. Dedicated specifically for classwork and Drama Mainstage productions, these shop spaces provide the resources to create and construct all items worn on the body, including but not limited to clothing, hats, shoes, makeup, facial hair, wigs, corsetry and undergarments. Puppets and masks are also built in these spaces.

An extensive and impressive costume collection, comprised of items that span eras from Egyptian to modern, is maintained in several costume storage areas. The collection has grown to include items constructed and designed for various productions, and also include donations from notable individuals and families including Roloff Beny, Dr. Kathleen (Kay) Kerr, James (Jim) Coutts and the Singer family (Jim, Phyllis and Melissa) among many others.

The costume shop also maintains a large fabric and sewing supply inventory, and a craft room (W540) dedicated to painting and dying.

The costume lab (W539) serves as construction and lab space for Department of Drama students, for both class work and production work. Equipped with sewing supplies, machines, irons, and dress forms, this space ensures students are supplied with all necessary materials to complete their projects.
