Hartford Art School

The University is located on a 320-acre, suburban campus outside the city of Hartford with facilities for all its schools and colleges, including a dormitory for the arts. This special residence, called the Residential College of the Arts, attracts art, theatre, dance, and music students by providing studios, music practice rooms, an arts faculty member in residence, and social programming in the arts.

The campus provides students with all of the cultural, academic, social, and athletic amenities of a thriving, contemporary university. The Visual Arts Complex of the Hartford Art School occupies a central location on the University of Hartford campus. The recently renovated Taub Hall and the new Renée Samuels Center houses offices, classrooms, laboratories, and studios for printmaking, photography, painting, drawing, foundation studies and media arts.

A second set of buildings includes the Stanley Sculpture Center, the Krieble Ceramics Center, the Sculpture Fabrication Workshop, and outbuildings for glass blowing, metal casting, and graduate studios for painting. Studios and computer facilities for visual communication design, illustration, and foundation courses are housed in the East Wing of the Harry Jack Gray Center.
