Originally constructed in 1949 as an industrial arts building, Jenkins Hall is a two-story concrete structure revitalized to become the new home of the University’s celebrated sculpture and ceramics programs. The design-build project transformed a long-vacant campus asset through a complete renovation that improved accessibility and incorporated voluntary seismic upgrades. The design celebrates the building’s industrial character by exposing original board-formed concrete, steel trusses, and redwood ceilings uncovered during demolition, creating a renewed space that honors its history while supporting contemporary arts education.
