Union College Visual Arts Building

Built in 1852 for science programs, the building formed part of the original campus plan, a comprehensive design by French architect Joseph Ramée. To expand the Visual Arts program and foster interdisciplinary collaboration, the historic building underwent a significant renovation. Highlights of the project include a three-story addition featuring a sculpture and metalworking design studio, outdoor sculpture space, public gallery expansion, improvements to the photography area, 2D and 3D design studios; and a suite of working artists’ studios for visual arts majors in all media to make and display their work.
