New Home for 3D Arts

Dear CC Community,

I am pleased to announce that the former Honnen Ice Arena building will be renovated to become a new home for 3D Arts and Integrative Design & Architecture classes, activities, and offices, and will include spaces and offices for Creativity & Innovation. The renovation project is expected to start after Block 8 and be completed in the fall.

A permanent space was needed for 3D Arts classes, which were displaced when Ed Robson Arena was constructed. This academic year, these classes and spaces for their student projects have been accommodated at multiple locations including the Honnen building and other sites on the east side of campus. Classes and art activities will continue in most of those spaces until the renovation is complete.

In March the CC Board of Trustees approved changing the Campus Master Plan to keep the former Honnen Ice Arena building rather than raze it as originally planned. A group of students, faculty, and staff studied space requirements, and a renovation-project committee of faculty and staff will continue to oversee the remodeling of the building.

KVA Architects designed the renovated space, which will include classrooms, specialized equipment, art studio spaces, makerspace, flexible creative spaces, a conference room, and offices. The outer shell of Honnen Ice Arena will remain, with some modifications.

The location of the space as a center for art and creativity endeavors helps to create an arts corridor with nearby Packard Hall, Cornerstone Arts Center, the Fine Arts Center, and Arts and Crafts in Worner Campus Center. The new space will be available to the broader campus community. The renovated building is intended to foster collaboration across the curriculum and co-curricular activities.
Several campus community members have contributed to this important project to meet the needs of students. Thanks to all of them. 

Those who investigated spaces are:

Amber Brannigan, associate vice president, Facilities Services
Emily Chan, vice president and dean of the faculty
Leo Fowler ’22, student
Jessica Hunter ’90, associate director of innovation
Scott Johnson, associate professor of art, director of art studio
Gale Murray, professor and chair of art
Jameel Paulin, assistant professor of art
Rachel Paupeck, assistant professor of art
Lori Seager, associate vice president, Finance and Administration
Rebecca Tucker, professor of art
Sydney Vine ’23, student

The renovation project committee members, who will continue to oversee the project, are:

Amber Brannigan, associate vice president, Facilities Services
Jane Hilberry, professor of creativity and innovation, professor of English
Jessica Hunter ’90, associate director of Creativity and Innovation
Scott Johnson, associate professor of art, director of art studio
Dez Menendez ’00, director of Creativity and Innovation
Gale Murray, professor and chair of art
Rachel Paupeck, assistant professor of art
Lori Seager, associate vice president, Finance and Administration

Sincerely,


Pedro de Araujo
Vice President, Dean of the College, and Committee Chair

TOMORROW: “Refugees, Language, and the Meaning of ‘America’” with Viet Thanh Nguyen

“Refugees, Language, and the Meaning of ‘America” with Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of “The Sympathizer” and “The Committed”

Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m.
Kathryn Mohrman Theatre
Viet Thanh Nguyen and his family came to the United States in 1975 as refugees during the Vietnam War. Growing up in America, he realized that most movies and books about the war focused on Americans, while the Vietnamese were silenced and erased. Nguyen was inspired by this lack of representation to write about the war from a Vietnamese perspective. Now a professor at the University of Southern California and an award-winning novelist, creative nonfiction writer, scholar, teacher, and essayist, Nguyen will present “Refugees, Language, and the Meaning of ‘America” on Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m. in Kathryn Mohrman Theatre as part of the “Dismantling Hate Series.”
Forever Foreign: Asian America, Global Asia, and the Problem of Anti-Asian Racism” is a series of lectures, discussions, film screenings, and reading groups that highlight the histories, narratives, and voices from Asian societies and of Asian diaspora communities in the United States to increase knowledge and awareness of these communities.
The Dismantling Hate: An Educational Series Toward Understanding and Action series is a campus-wide initiative that provides programming for CC students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members from the Colorado Springs area. The purpose and goal of this educational series is to support our communities to better understand hate — its roots and outcomes, and to motivate people to take action to dismantle hate. Each educational program in the series features a conversation with an activist, broadly defined, who shares their work and experience dismantling hate against marginalized communities.
