Ceramics Building due to open in the fall



At the moment, the ceramics people are still downstairs from us, in the Visual Arts Building on North Campus, but just because we'll be moving back to our regular HQ at some point within the year (dates are yet to be set) doesn't mean we'll be farther away from them. In fact, the art school is working on a new building for them as well, which will be right around the corner from both the big Dodd building and the new GMOA and is pictured above. According to the news on the LDSOA's site, Menefee + Winer is the architectural firm, and the 15,000-square-foot building is expected to be finished in the fall of this year, having begin construction in January. East Campus may be getting crowded, especially with the new parking deck (which will provide ample room for GMOA's events, as well as for those at the Performing Arts Center, and is literally a stone's throw away) that's just gone up, but it'll be great to have all us arty folk in one location. Maybe we'll still be able to smell it when they fire up the kilns.
