Beginning in fall 2014, MIAD students will live in the new, apartment-style residence hall TWO50TWO just across from the college’s main academic building.
The progressive-style building with sustainable systems and details was designed to meet the needs of MIAD students, who will be in close proximity to their studios and classrooms in the creative atmosphere of the Historic Third Ward.
