California College of the Arts Graduate Center

The fencing is the facade for this expansion to the Graduate Studies Campus at the California College of the Arts. Expanded aluminum mesh forms an open scrim-like wall at the street’s edge. Behind the mesh skin are two pre-engineered steel buildings that house sixty-eight individual artist studios, classrooms, administrative offices and exhibit spaces. The open space between the buildings forms a courtyard with shade trees and outdoor workshops. This project is connected to the previously completed Graduate Studios project and creates a combined 50,000 square foot Graduate Studies campus.
