Black Mountain College Museum & Arts Center

The mission of the Black Mountain College Museum & Arts Center is to preserve and continue the legacy of educational and artistic innovation of the Black Mountain College (1933-1957) for public study and enjoyment. Our renovations to this 1914 structure adjacent to City Hall and Asheville’s main public park provide facilities for collection, conservation and educational activities including exhibitions, publications and public programs. Historic features of the building were preserved and restored per the National Park Service’s Secretary of Interiors standards, while providing code compliance as well as meeting the temperature and humidity control requirements of a museum. We also developed designs for 3 Residential apartments on the Upper Levels of the building.
