**Prospective Graduate Student Open House**  
[Visit on Monday, November 18.](http://bit.ly/2pbgbBc?ref=hyperallergic.com)

This fall, Washington University in St. Louis completed a [major campus transformation](http://bit.ly/2KfUUgX?ref=hyperallergic.com), adding several academic buildings, creating a welcoming campus park, and expanding our world-class art museum. The project enabled the [Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts](http://bit.ly/2rvGLpo?ref=hyperallergic.com) to bring together all its programs in art, architecture, and design on the main campus, promoting greater camaraderie and collaboration across disciplines.

**New Facilities**

The newest building, [Anabeth and John Weil Hall](http://bit.ly/33E8PW0?ref=hyperallergic.com), is a hub for Sam Fox School graduate programs. The 82,000-square-foot facility designed by KieranTimberlake has loft-style studios and installation and workspaces with abundant natural light. Students have numerous places to gather, relax, and collaborate, including the Kuehner Court with a two-story, living green wall, and the Weil Hall Commons, which features an [ambitious installation](http://bit.ly/2QmMnNp?ref=hyperallergic.com) by alum Anne Schaefer.

After a major expansion, the [Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum](http://bit.ly/2Q80l5z?ref=hyperallergic.com) reopened this fall with the exhibition [*Ai Weiwei: Bare Life*](http://bit.ly/2CELQOt?ref=hyperallergic.com) and a Q&A with the artist.
