The building is organized by two intersecting bars, one containing three large studios per floor and the second containing smaller spaces along a double-loaded corridor, including faculty offices, advanced studios, classrooms and support spaces. This organization separates the clean and dirty functions of the program. Flat zinc panels express the destination spaces of the building and offer contrast with the brick masonry shell. Polished concrete flooring throughout accommodates the messy process of art-making and compliments the utilitarian building aesthetic.

The facility includes major studio spaces for painting and drawing, sculpture, photography, metal and wood work, ceramics, print production and a large segment of digital production across all disciplines. The siting of the building and location of the major studio spaces takes advantage of northern light, which creates an ideal environment for painting and drawing.
