Visual Arts Center
The Visual Arts Center contains offices, classrooms, studios, and exhibition space for the art department, as well as the Pierce Art Library and Kresge Auditorium.
Pierce Art Library
Collection of Books on Art
The Pierce Art Library is located on the south side of the second floor of the VAC, and houses about 18,000 volumes of the college's collection of books on art, art history and photography.
The Art Library is light-filled and the carrels are oversized to accommodate large format art books.
This library is heavily used by both art history and visual arts students and is a non-circulating collection, though college faculty can check things out for limited amounts of time, at the discretion of the art librarian.
