Our Facilities

The Fine Arts Building houses the main art offices as well as numerous undergraduate classrooms and specialized labs for Foundations, Photography, Ceramics, Sculpture & Electronic Art, Digital Foundations, and Digital Media.

The Carnaghi Arts Building (CAB) accommodates studio space for several departments in the College of Fine Arts, including the Department of Art, the Department of Interior Architecture + Design, and the School of Theatre. This 114,000+ square foot space provides a unique and collaborative learning environment for students in all art disciplines.

CAB houses the Department of Art’s BFA and MFA student studios, where students can create work while fostering a community between the programs. MFA students have access to the photo documentation room, ceramics shop, multi-use room, woodshop, and the metal shop. This building also contains the MFA Gallery and the Phyllis Straus Gallery, built to host exhibitions that are open to the public.

The ATL building, a deconsecrated church, houses Painting and Drawing classrooms and painting faculty offices.

The printmaking and book arts studios are located in the Kellogg Research Building (KRB). The screen printing studio includes individual printing stations, a variety of screens, a vacuum exposure unit and a washout sink. The relief/etching print area contains two Takach etching presses and two Brand presses with an adjacent plate prep room with ferric acid etching tanks. A NuArc exposure unit is available for photo etching processes. The print area computer lab has individual workstations, digital printing capabilities, and a Risograph printer. The book arts room has two restored letterpress proof presses that are currently undergoing complete renovation and small tools for bookmaking. A classroom space for classroom discussions and meetings is located just off the book room.

The Facility For Arts Research (FAR) is a venture of the Florida State University College of Fine Arts, offering space and specialized equipment for experimental printmaking, spatial audio, electronics and digital fabrication to researchers and faculty as part of a rigorous interdisciplinary investigation into art-making. Students have the opportunity to participate in special research projects through direct faculty mentorship. FAR engages and educates 21st century makers in the collaborative, cross-disciplinary experiences of contemporary arts research, supporting and promoting the integration of digital and traditional art and design methods to create unique objects that might be impossible to make in other ways.
