40 Years of MFA Studios:
A Nooks and Crannies Retrospective
The Art Department - once housed entirely within the Education and Humanities buildings - has spent 40 years struggling to house MFA students in a plethora of buildings across campus: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Aspiring artists have used condemnable houses and storefronts, former engineering labs, a State Street attic and basement, a poultry research lab, abandoned physics offices and a campus photo lab as places to think, research, plan and create.
No more.
MFA students and faculty will begin moving this December into state-of-the-art studios in the renovated Art Lofts building next to the Kohl Center. At the end of the 2008-09 school year, all MFA studios will be housed in the Lofts and Humanities. This website will remain as a repository of information, images and memories of all the old studios.
