Located in central Nebraska on the Hasting College campus, the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center has become an iconic art piece for the university and the community. The building is broken down into three main functions: glassblowing, ceramics, and metal working. These are each represented into the design of the project. The glass blowing portion is shown on the southwest corner of the building. This space hosts the art gallery and becomes an iconic jewel box for the work of students as well as famous artists. The ceramics plays its part within the masonry brick on the façade that surrounds the southern and northern portion of the building. The metal working is represented with the scrim. This piece consisted of metal perforated panels that are attached to a triangulation of metal tubes.

Jury Comments: This new building establishes a strong identity for the art center at a strategic intersection between an existing campus and an adjacent residential community. It eloquently combines a glowing glass box signaling gallery entry with a dynamic faceted metal scrim framing activity in its workshops.
