Studio Space

To apply for a senior studio space, you need to:
1] Write a one page statement on why you want a space, including your name, phone number and email address and leave it with Erin Gleeson, IL Dept Administrative Assistant.
2] Indicate your preference of cubicle or desk. Your preference can’t be guaranteed but it’s good to know!
3] Read through the Studio Contract to make sure you are willing to follow these rules.

Spaces will be assigned during first week of classes!
