Charles Timm-Ballard, associate professor of art, said at the building’s dedication in September 2008, “we asked for clean, light-filled, maintainable, airy spaces. They gave us all of that and wrapped those spaces in a visually stunning arrangement of material, form and light,” he said. “These qualities immediately announce that this is a place on campus that provides the needs of visual, tactile, kinesthetic and aesthetic intelligence.” The $14.2 million facility is a model of “current esthetic, technological, and health and safety standards in the arts.”
