Visual Arts Center
Seton Hill University
Greenburg, PA
This 45,000 SF, three-story Visual Arts Center is situated in Downtown Greensburg, Pennsylvania, at the southern gateway to Seton Hill, one block down from the Seton Hill Performing Arts Center.
The facility houses both studios for the Department of Arts and Dance. Both programs have significant public outreach programs. The building also contains a small retail component and cafe. The exterior reflects the industrial roots of the city while at the same time the building’s transparency animates the street and engages the public in the activities going on inside. The project is designed to achieve a minimum of LEED Certification standards and is a joint venture with designLAB.
