Facilities
The Department of Art offers more than 45,000 square feet of studio, laboratory, classroom, and gallery space on the MSU campus, including a newly renovated area for digital photography.
In 1997, Fine Art areas were enhanced. The sculpture studio advanced into Briscoe Hall where a computer lab once stood; a ceramics studio exists now where art history - turned multimedia - was once squeezed. Photography moved to the former graphic design area in Briscoe; second floor Freeman Hall was renovated to create a much larger Advanced Painting (life painting and life drawing) studio. The Imaging Research Studio in Photography was created in Briscoe Hall in 1999, as well as expanded kiln facilities in Ceramics, and a larger workshop/ classroom for Sculpture.
Currently in Stafford Hall, due to expanding numbers, the old Art History lecture hall has been remodeled into two Design studios. A new Photography studio currently occupies the previous Design studio. Drawing studios in Freeman have also been expanded to Briscoe, moving the previous Sculpture and 3D studios to Howell Hall.
