A new presence at the heart of the Danforth Campus
Coinciding with the launch of the Arts & Sciences Strategic Plan, Washington University in St. Louis will construct a new state-of-the-art building for Arts & Sciences, the largest school on the Danforth Campus.
The building and surrounding landscape will create a new quad at the heart of campus, west of Olin Library and north of Graham Chapel. The facility will bring ample space and opportunity for Arts & Sciences to:
- House premier departments and programs
- Support our commitment to diversity and inclusion
- Strengthen student-facing academic services and resources
- Offer signature events and gathering spaces that highlight our dynamic intellectual community

The new building presents an extraordinary opportunity for Arts & Sciences to enhance its academic distinction by housing premier departments and programs, support its commitment to diversity and inclusion, strengthen student-facing academic services and resources, and showcase its vibrant intellectual community through signature event and gathering spaces.
