2026 Update

Gianforte Hall Student Tile Project 

Students were presented with the opportunity to create 3’x3’ tile compositions to be permanently installed in the new Gianforte Hall Computer Science Building scheduled to open in summer 2026. Students created new glazes using local materials and included them in their compositions. Five works were selected created by Silvie Skibicki, Keaton Zafian, Monica Gray, Brooke Mehlhoff, and Garrett Dominick.
