Arts and Sciences Building
When it opened in 1996, the Arts and Sciences Building represented a new era of construction on the Galloway campus. Not only was the building designed to be a space for physical artwork and science labs, it was also envisioned as an art piece itself. Designed by architect Michael Graves, who delighted in the prospect of designing a building for the arts, the building鈥檚 fa莽ade is both unique and welcoming with its incorporation of columns and large glass windows.
The structure鈥檚 interior is home to various art displays from senior projects to numerous geological samples collected from the surrounding area over the years. In addition to classrooms and offices, the building is home to most of Stockton鈥檚 visual arts programs and includes studios for sculpting, modeling, and canvas painting. It also housed the science programs until the construction of United Science Center I and II in 2013 and 2018, respectively.
Today, the building serves a secondary function as a transportation hub for the various buses that ferry commuter students to and from Stockton鈥檚 main campus. The memory of standing in the slightly drafty vestibule while waiting for a shuttle back to the Seaview or Atlantic City dorms will likely be an enduring one for many Stockton students.
