FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
ART & DESIGN'S MOVE TO HEART OF CAMPUS INSPIRES
|
|
When the elevator doors open on the new Art & Design space in the Sawyer Building this semester, students are stepping into a reimagined world.
They’ll find a thoughtfully transformed space purpose-built for the needs of working art students - from “tech-flex” classrooms lined with high-powered design computers to foundation studios full of easels and flooded with natural light.
Purpose-built for today's art student. “Our new spaces were designed so students can come in, lay out their ideas, draw, sketch, whatever they need to do in order to build and implement their visions,” says Art & Design chair Audrey Goldstein.
