The University of Arkansas holds groundbreaking for new Studio and Design Center in the Windgate Art and Design District, designed by HGA.
The University of Arkansas School of Art hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, Oct. 13, for its new Studio and Design Center building in the Windgate Art and Design District, at the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Hill Avenue.
The ceremony kicked off the construction on the building, expanding the footprint of the planned Windgate Art and Design District in the heart of south Fayetteville.
“The new Studio and Design Center seeks to remove limitations through the creation of an open, spatially rich environment, and encourage collaboration and engagement between disciplines while providing the functional space, tools and resources necessary for students and faculty to fully realize their ambitions,” said Andrew Weyenberg, project designer at HGA. “The building and the funding that made it possible are a tangible demonstration of a remarkable commitment to the arts and their importance in the future of the region.”
