Topping-Out Reached for Radford University’s Artis Center for Adaptive Innovation and Creativity Project

Skanska has topped out on Radford University’s new Artis Center for Adaptive Innovation and Creativity on July 22. Located in Radford, Virginia, the 178,000-square-foot building will replace the existing space for the College of Visual and Performing Arts and create interdisciplinary student spaces.

CAIC represents the largest capital construction project in the history of Radford University in terms of total project funding and square footage. The new building will allow for the cross-disciplinary collaboration of educational programs in the arts, health sciences, and technology and will include facilities, such as:

  • 500-seat performing arts theatre auditorium,
  • fashion and interior design labs,
  • health sciences clinical labs,
  • painting and drawing studios,
  • music and dance studios,
  • maker and printer spaces,
  • photography/darkroom space,
  • virtual and augmented reality labs and
  • offices and other academic support spaces, including classrooms and collaboration rooms.

The project is expected to be completed by end of 2023.
