Broad Street Studios
The Dodd occupies two separate buildings on Broad Street in downtown Athens. Broad Street Two comprises our highly rated Interior Design Area. This space was designed by and for the Interior Design area and functions as a self-contained design program. Interior Design provides students access to various means of digital output, via Laser Cutting, 3D Printing, and Wide Format Printing. Broad Street Three houses our downtown community engagement space. Currently undergoing renovation, it will house gallery space as well as studio and classroom space for extending the reach of Lamar Dodd School of Art into the greater Athens community.

Broad Street Studio 2
The Interior Design building provides a studio environment facilitating the design and exploration of the built environment. At the core of the building is a suite of three large studios that open into each other, providing the specific instructional environments needed for classes early in the curriculum and offering task-specific spaces responsive to the ebb and flow of project activities later in the curriculum. The three studios can be summarized as hand, digital, and team. The first supports hand drafting, drawing, and modeling techniques; the second supports computer-based explorations from digital imaging, through computer-aided design and building information modeling, and on to time-based media; and the third supports discussions, team meetings, and large-scale modeling.
Broad Street Studio 2 includes a number of program support spaces:
- project critique space
- traditional woodworking shop focused on model building
- digital modeling shop with a laser cutter and 3d printer specialized digital printing center
- dedicated graduate student studio, including a reference library and faculty offices and studios.
