Beginning in fall 2012, UW-Madison’s Sellery Hall will house a residential learning community for students interested in a variety of creative arts disciplines.
Residential learning communities, housed in residential halls, seek to engage students, faculty and staff around a specific area of focus.
The new residential learning community, called the Creative Arts and Design Community, will welcome students interested in art, dance, engineering, design, film, fashion, music, computer science and theater.
Sellery Hall will undergo renovations to its facilities to create a space for CAD students. The renovations will also provide students with access to music practice rooms, small work studios, a computer lab and other equipment.
The CAD community will host specialized programs including seminars, speakers, performances, trips and outreach opportunities intended to enhance students’ creative skills.
University Housing began planning for the CAD community last year after it received funds from the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates to expand the university’s learning communities.
This will be the university’s eighth residential learning community, including three already located in Sellery Hall.
