Arts Annex
History
The building originally known as the Arts Annex has an interesting history. Initially completed in 1911, and called simply Building #1, it was demolished in 1928 and rebuilt in 1932 and 1939. The building at that time became the second central heating plant structure, or a boiler house. In 1963 the building was remodeled into an Industrial Arts Facility and, in 2002, was renovated and expanded for use by the Department of Visual Arts.
Named for
This building's name is a product of its programmatic use. After its use as a boiler plant building, it became Arts Annex to supplement Guggenheim Hall and Crabbe Hall Arts Buildings
Current Use
The Arts Annex houses the Department of Visual Arts programs of sculpture, pottery, jewelry making and photography.
