Baugh Center for the Visual Arts

Art instruction, studio, and office spaces previously located in the Presser Hall basement and the York Annex will be combined in a new visual arts building located south of the Mabee Student Center across 9th Avenue.  This 27,000-square-foot building will house classrooms, faculty offices, studio space, a student lounge, and an art gallery.  Classrooms dedicated to ceramics and sculpture will open onto deck areas where students may fire or weld pieces outdoors.  A ground-floor suite will offer computer work stations and conference areas where visual communications students will be able to work together in a setting similar to an ad agency.
