The Art and Architecture Building provides nearly 240,000 square feet of space equally divided between two academic units of the University: Taubman College and the School of Art & Design. In addition, the Taubman Wing, which was completed in 2017, offers an additional 36,000 square feet of studio facilities, faculty offices, and collaborative learning space.
Building Policies and Culture
As a shared space, we have many combined building policies and services. Taubman College occupies the south side of the building, which includes studio spaces on the third floor, in addition to the TV Lab and FABLab. Art & Design occupies the north side of the building. The courtyard is a shared communal space.
Access
The building is open and unlocked during fall and winter terms from 7 AM–10 PM on weekdays; 7 AM–7 PM on weekends. After hours, members of the Art & Architecture community can use their MCard at the six main building entrances to access the building.

The building has lockers available for Taubman College student, faculty, and staff storage, located on the first floor south hallway.
