Art and Design Building

The Windgate Art and Design Building at UAFS was designed to cultivate and inspire the next generation of artists. The award-winning building design of WER Architects features exposed structure and supporting systems and an exterior facade inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian.

The Windgate building encompasses 57,000-square-feet and is home to the university’s Book Arts, Studio Art, and Graphic Design programs. It houses spaces for photography, painting, sculpture, and art history, computer labs, a wood shop, a letterpress and bookmaking operation, a photography studio, critique spaces, a 120-seat theatre, and the UAFS Gallery of Art and Design.

Open spaces such as the student lounge, senior studios, and the inspiration staircase provide excellent student collaboration and creativity areas.
