Arts Lofts Renovation

Samford University

 
 
 
 

Originally built to house their facilities and maintenance department in the early 1960’s, the building presented interesting aesthetic, functional and structural challenges to overcome for its proposed new use. Included in the “new” Arts Lofts building are various design studio spaces, student storage, staff and faculty offices, senior art, new restrooms with locker area and a fully functional two-story sculpting/pottery studio with kilns. The out of the way location on campus allowed outdoor patio space for the messier art projects that were not feasible in the old building. Samford University is well known across the Southeast for its traditional Georgian Colonial architecture. Through this creative reuse of an old storage building destined to be demolished, we created an exciting, modern facility for the art students and faculty.
