The Marist Steel Plant Studios create a new home for the College’s Fine Art, Fashion, and Digital Media programs in a renovated 12,000-square-foot historic industrial building expanded with a 35,000-square-foot addition. Departing from the Hudson River Gothic-inspired vocabulary of the architect’s other buildings at Marist, the design complements the former Steel Plant by adopting an industrial-modern aesthetic, incorporating brick, steel, polished concrete, terrazzo, corrugated metal, and tile. Key spaces in the facility: digital labs, fashion studios, a maker space, fashion exhibition gallery, art gallery, an “Mporium” retail laboratory, and Winter Garden.
