Many universities are creating studio settings for courses outside the artist's realm. There are several different projects along these lines, most notably the SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs) initiated at NC State.
Yoga/Martial Arts Studio
Many of the healing arts and activities such as yoga, judo, karate are "studied" in a Studio. It is very common to see Yoga studios and Martial Arts studios established in settings that might previously have been for other uses, described as studios. These are not really Rec Centers, or gyms in the traditional sense, but places where students of these activities practice their art or study their art.
