Studios
Natural-light drawing, industrial design, apparel, print, photography, animation and interaction studios support individual and team work.
Production
Wood, metal, textile, print and digital fabrication areas require training appropriate to each process.
Public spaces
The Furlong Gallery and student project corridors host rotating exhibitions and senior shows.
Studios with north light
The upper floors are drawing, industrial-design, apparel, print, photography, animation and interaction studios, most with the north-facing glass the 1969 addition was designed around. Students are assigned studio space by course and often keep a desk for a full year.
The Furlong Gallery
The ground-floor Furlong Gallery runs rotating exhibitions, visiting-artist shows and the spring senior exhibitions, and it is open to the public at no charge. The student project corridors around it are effectively a second, always-on gallery.
In and around Porter Falls
The campus is compact — 86 acres, 14 buildings — laid out along the old Millrace between downtown Porter Falls and the river. The Porter Loop shuttle circles it every twelve minutes during class hours, and the lighted Riverfront Trail connects the academic core to North Campus in about a ten-minute walk.

If you have a question
This is handled by Facilities & Campus Planning (Millwright Hall, Room 40). Call (715) 555-0245 or email facilities@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or use MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If another office turns out to own the question, they will pass it along rather than send you back to the beginning.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
