This is MICA’s Main Building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its construction was completed in 1908. It features a large central marble staircase and stained glass skylight, and is home to the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs, the Office of Undergraduate Admission, and First Year Experience and Photography departments.
The Main Building includes expansive studio classrooms for painting and drawing, Main O — a student run gallery — and darkrooms for photography processing.
The Main Building is also a hub for student activity in October. it is the site for MICA's notoriously-creative student Halloween Party. And in May, the buildings, classrooms, galleries, and open spaces serve as exhibition halls for the senior thesis show, ArtWalk.
