The UNC Asheville Owen Hall project consisted of a 5,000 sf addition and 56,200 sf of heavy renovations to the existing 1985 building. The programming of the building remained Art History and Art Studios (3D Printing, Photography, Paint, Ceramics, Sculpture, Metalworks, etc.). The heart of the revised floorplan is a new three-story atrium entrance with a skylight that adds substantial daylight throughout the facility and features galleries on each level. A relocated kiln yard and new sculpture park dynamically change the relationship between this building and its surroundings and create a new sense of place.
