- The new 17,767 square foot addition to Bliss Hall is dedicated.
The $3.3 million new wing, which faces Smoky Hollow, has a foundry
and state-of-the-art painting and sculpture studios. An exceptional
feature of the addition is also unveiled – the gateways
depicting the work and workers of the steel industry. Designed
by associate professor of art, Greg Moring, the gateways offer
a visual narrative of Youngstown’s rich steel heritage as
well as the work that takes place in the new wing. College of
Fine and Performing Arts Dean George McCloud says that the addition
indicates that YSU is turning its face toward Smoky Hollow, not
its back.
