Sustainable Arkansas tour

Attendees of the 2013 Sustainable Arkansas conference, hosted by the Arkansas chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council, took a tour in early April, and we tagged along with them. The renovations to most parts of Vol Walker Hall were far along. The old second-floor gallery was filled with interesting scaffolding. And the studios, faculty offices and other spaces in the Anderson Design Center were taking shape.

Spring has sprung

A February snowfall didn’t slow down the work on Vol Walker Hall and the Anderson Design Center. Workers finished with the crane, and the glass started going up on the western side of the addition in March.
