New Building Construction Is Underway!
Center for Applied Technology and Sculpture
The Center for Applied Technology and Sculpture will be the new home to all of the Industrial Technology, Technology & Engineering Education, and Sculpture/Art Studio. Designed by Peckham Guyton Albers & Viets Architects the Center for Applied Technology and Sculpture will be located on North College Drive just across the street from Davis Hall and the Memorial Union. This beautiful building will be two stories on the front of the structure closest to College Drive and story & 1/2 near the rear of the building. It will have the traditional Fort Hays State University "limestone look" covering the facade, an iron & millwork covered entryway, and other classic industrial characteristics to let passersby know just what activities are taking place in FHSU's newest academic building.
There will be 58,000 square feet that make up the new technology center consisting of computer CAD labs, instructional & graphics labs, STEM labs, woodworking labs, metalworking labs, plastics labs, power & energy labs, robotics labs, construction management labs, sculpture studios, and metal foundry studios.
Students will be able gather and study in the two story glassed-in atrium area and in a small social café nook. Two seminar classrooms round out the atrium area that can be opened to expose a large space that will be used for symposiums, technology days, and student recruitment.
The Center for Applied Technology and Sculpture is scheduled to open in the fall of 2017.
