Campus-Wide Impact at the New Knox College Whitcomb Art Center

Knox College Whitcomb Art Center
Galesburg, Illinois

First newly constructed campus facility since the early 1970’s and an important part of the Knox commitment to a liberal arts education

Our new building is a delight...designed for teaching multiple art disciplines, the abundance of light-filled open work areas, studio space, and a gallery-like two-story critique hall enhance student learning and imagination. It also directly impacts our effectiveness as teachers and promotes student’s ability to think of themselves as artists, not just students.
