Visual Arts Darkroom Suite Renovation
Making much needed repairs and updating to our Darkroom.
Project Update as of April 8, 2024
Our design consultants have completed the construction bidding documents. We are in the process of releasing the documents for bid. Anticipated construction start - Summer2024.
Project Overview
As part of the first phase of mechanical ventilation upgrades, we recently completed in the Visual Arts building, we temporarily moved the existing Darkroom suite, located in the basement of VA, over to the old Bookstore space. This has given us the opportunity to do some much need overhauling of the existing basement spaces.
Project Scope
The project will include the full renovation of the existing Darkroom Suite. The project will include removal of the old and outdated spaces including most of the walls, ceilings, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and electrical systems, giving us a clean pallet to work with. The new revitalized spaces will include a more open concept plan, new darkroom, large format film development, new classroom/gallery space, and updated lighting, electrical and plumbing throughout. The suite will also be fully ADA accessible.
