Scultpure Refurbishment Complete

Work has just completed on the refurbishment of the 'Eschelon with concrete columns' (1972) by Hubert Dalwood (1924-76) sited adjacent to the entrance to the School of Art & Design.  This sculpture was originally white in its bare form, the recent refurbishment has seen it painted white to restore its original pristine  aspect.  Attached are some images of the work in progress.

Feedback starts to come in

A number of staff and student alumni have now started to view the site and offer some feedback, which is wonderful and we are very grateful for the time they have taken to help us out here.

Early responses seem 100% behind the idea of such, a site but suggest that we need to make the site more visual and aesthetically pleasing. We are looking into alternative ways to bring in the numerous images that we have currently lodged in the gallery pages which can be found on the far right of the top drop down menu.

We are leaving the survey up for another week or two and then we'll collate the findings and make any improvements that we can in the light of your comments.

If you haven't already please do send us some images or copy; we really want this to be a site full of your stories rather than a corporate view. Cheers

We need your help!

Counting Down to the Anniversary

There are seven months remaining until the fortieth anniversary of the first major event to take place in MK building aka the School of Art & Design. We need your help. This is a plea for stories, images and videos to populate this on line archive, which we plan to officially launch at the Degree Show 2009. We are also particularly keen to include some current students and student alumni information in our 'People' section.

You can contribute stores via this blog or by using the contribute buttons which can be found on the left hand side of the site.
