Columbus State University Uptown Performance and Visual Arts Campus

摘要

When Columbus State University in southwest Georgia decided to expand its arts programs in the late 1990s, its plan for growth was unconventional by most campus-planning standards. Instead of building on campus parking lots or expanding into the surrounding leafy residential neighborhood, the school chose to establish a second campus. Fair enough. But where many universities might have opted for another pastoral setting outside the urban edge, Columbus State made a beeline to the city's industrial center.
