Tyler School of Art moving to main campus

With the Tyler move to main campus many alumni, students, and Professors are torn, they love the current campus but the idea of all the facilities expanding leads to excitement. For glass students this means all new equipment, actual studio space, and more kilns, furnaces, glass, torches etc... It is hard to not be happy for that.
