The Campus

The campus includes 15 buildings on 10 acres of landscaped grounds in Utica, N.Y., conveniently located in Central New York's historic Mohawk Valley, between Syracuse and Albany. It is less than one hour from the Adirondack Park, the nation's largest state park, and home to the state's famous "High Peaks" region.

Studio classes are held in the new $5 million modern Studio Building that was completed in 1998. Among the features of this three-story, 24,500 square-foot structure are seven art studios, an art gallery, a student lounge and an outdoor sculpture court. The facility also features Palmer Park, a picturesque setting for students and the surrounding neighborhood. Complementing the Studio Building, five architecturally diverse buildings have been restored to accommodate our growing program. Adjacent to the new Studio Building, a former Victorian home has been renovated to house the administrative offices of the School of Art. Pottery and sculpture classes are conducted in the two original School of Art buildings (approximately 10,000 square feet) next to the Museum of Art. Formerly carriage houses built in the 1890s, the upper floors of the buildings have been remodeled into faculty studios and offices.

Student Center includes a student lounge, recreation room, dining hall, bookstore and Health Center. The Academic and Library Center where liberal arts and history classes meet, houses a state-of-the-art computer lab. Two historic apartment buildings have been renovated for student housing (for more information please refer to the section on Student Life). Another feature of the campus is a visiting artists' residence. Studios for both visual and performing artists are provided in this beautifully restored turn-of-the-century house, that also includes a comfortable two-bedroom apartment with shared living facilities. Complementing the art studios, a well-appointed dance building is home to a thriving Community Arts Dance Program. This building features two dance studios, a reception area, dressing rooms and costume-design areas. The dance program offers classes in ballet, tap and jazz to students of all ages and abilities.
