The Visual Arts and Design Center represents the collective educational vision of the University’s Art, Architecture and Art History Departments. The project encompasses the renovation of three existing buildings utilized by the School of Art and Architecture and provides a new 93,300 square foot facility that houses a new library, faculty and administration offices, sculpture studios and a new art gallery for the University. Design is utilized to unite the various physical and programmatic components of the project into a unified interdisciplinary educational center.
