The University of Wyoming dedicated its new Visual Arts building today.
Art student Beth Cochran loves the new art building, and points out a feature she’s particularly excited about while leading a tour.
“The lockers are brand new and we’re really, really excited. They’re really, really nice,” Cochran says.
The Visual Arts building is huge, bright and energy efficient. The 79,000 square foot facility includes studios for faculty and staff, a gallery and brand new equipment.
Art Department Chair Ricki Klages also led a tour of the building, highlighting a new light room and advanced safety features, like dedicated rooms for spraying paint. She says the new building has been a long time coming.
