Project Description

The intent of the Heating Plant Annex remodel was to enhance safety the Art Department 3D studio facilities. The facility houses the University’s academic 3D art studio spaces where art students create ceramics, sculpture and metal jewelry. The building floor plan was reconfigured from its original locker-room layout to better serve the art department as studio space, and faculty office spaces. In each studio, exhaust systems were placed in key work areas to protect art students from hazards such as airborne particulates, heat, and fumes generated during the creative process. Other upgrades the facility received include air conditioning, and window replacements.
