New Downtown Campus - 1521 Washington Avenue

In 2010, PSC will have a new campus in the revitalized Washington Avenue Loft District. On September 24, 2008, Patricia Stevens College owner and president, Cynthia Musterman, purchased the first ever permanent campus for the college, a historic building located at 1521 Washington Avenue.

Students and instructors of PSC's Interior Design program, along with architect Lisa Selligman of red dot studio, have planned the renovation of the 4-story, 91-year-old former shoe manufacturing site. The new decor will fuse modern technology and innovations with historic architectural elements such as high ceilings, exposed brick walls and refinished hardwood floors. Serious efforts will also be made to keep the project as "green" as possible by using as many of the building's existing features and elements as possible, and installing new materials that are eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and recyclable.

With demolition at the new campus only weeks away, we here at PSC are excited to see what progress will be made over the coming months. We hope that this blog will serve as a means for PSC students, staff, faculty, and the community as a whole to be involved in the transformation of our new home.
