Spelman College announced the selection of Studio Gang to design its new Center for the Arts & Innovation.
“With the current pace of rapid change, in which the convergence of art, technology, entrepreneurship and science more and more frequently yields solutions to contemporary challenges, we are pleased to be working with the adventurous and innovative architectural team at Studio Gang,” said Spelman President Mary Schmidt Campbell, Ph.D.
In recent years, Spelman, one of the country’s leading liberal arts colleges and top women’s colleges, has led the nation in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The new facility will couple the College’s documented strength in STEM with a newly conceptualized set of possibilities in the arts, the programmatic initiative ARTS@Spelman.
“We look forward to building on the rich history of Spelman College to design a facility that will expand opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and learning,” said Studio Gang Founding Principal Jeanne Gang.
