Shattuck Transformed

In September 2008, the Department moved back into fully-remodeled Shattuck Hall, a beautiful 1915 red brick elementary school. A $13 million transformation produced dynamic facilities including a multi-level open plan, naturally-lit studios, a roof-top gallery, digital lab, and an extensive materials lab encompassing model-making, woodworking, metalworking, foundry and digital fabrication.
