ArtStreet
Project Description
ArtStreet, a learning and living arts center adjacent to the McGinnis Center in the South Student Neighborhood, is scheduled to open in Fall 2004. ArtStreet is envisioned to be a unique residential and learning environment for students of all majors that will serve the entire campus community and surrounding neighborhoods as a focal point for activity. ArtStreet will contain innovative living spaces together with multi-use facilities for the practice, performance, display, discussion, exploration, and contemplation of the arts.
An inviting café will serve as a hub for gathering, along with Flyer Radio, a student-run 24/7 operation. This learning-living arts center will be a unique and exciting complement to the academic arts programs (music, theatre, visual arts), larger performance facilities, and exhibition spaces located on the central campus. Made possible through a generous gift from the Kettering Family Fund, ArtStreet gives the University of Dayton the opportunity to design spaces that can put the university at the forefront of universities in exploring ways to create vibrant learning and living communities.
