McMurtry Building

Diller Scofidio + Renfro, along with the executive architect, Portland, OR-based Boora Architects, designed not only a new home for the Department of Art and Art History but an interdisciplinary hub for the arts at Stanford that will foster interaction and collaboration among students and faculty, and support the integration of the arts into university life.  It opened for classes in Fall 2015.

Housed within 96,000 gross square feet and under one roof for the first time are programs in art practice, design, art history, film and media studies, and documentary film and video. The building also includes art studios, media arts studios, screening spaces, film editing rooms, exhibition space, and the Art and Architecture Library.  The McMurtry Building is located at 355 Roth Way, between the Cantor Arts Center and Parking Structure 1.  Guided tours are open to the public, with a reservation.
