Transforming the Meadows School arts complex
Meadows School is blazing new paths in arts education by renovating the Owen Arts Center, the largest academic building on campus and one of Dallas鈥 top arts and cultural institutions. Phase One was a $34 million redesign that modernized and improved the academic spaces in the north wing for visual arts, art history and creative computation while transforming exterior entrances into grand, welcoming and accessible spaces. The improvements will serve as a catalyst for Meadows School to attract the next generation of talented and diverse students, scholars and visitors from across the region and around the world.
