Topping Out Ceremony
Join us as we honor this milestone in the construction of the Artis Center for Adaptive Innovation and Creativity.
The Artis Center at 178,000 square feet will support the evolving needs of many academic programs and inspire increased collaboration among students and faculty from across disciplines. Once completed in late 2023, the multi-story building will be the largest academic building on campus. It will replace existing space for the College of Visual and Performing Arts, specifically McGuffey and Porterfield Halls, and create blended student spaces serving the Waldron College of Health and Human Services and the Artis College of Science and Technology.
