Kent State University Sculpture Studio
Kent, Ohio

Kent State University converted an existing heating plant into a sculpture studio for use by the art department. Tec Inc. completed the electrical engineering and lighting design services for the new facility.

The first floor was divided into areas for a metal studio, wood studio, ceramics facilities, tool storage, and mechanical & electrical utility rooms.  Provisions have been made for outdoor work areas.  The second, third and fourth floors include:  multiple project studios, a wax room, faculty studios and the critique studio, additional studio space and a mixing room.

The third floor Critique Room is illuminated with track lighting to provide a gallery atmosphere and allows for flexibility of the lighting.
