Our Buildings


William K. Bixby Hall

Built in 1926, the stately, Beaux-Arts-era Bixby Hall is home to studio spaces and resources for fashion design, 3D, drawing, and printmaking.

Built in 1932, Givens Hall is another Beaux-Arts-era building, and includes numerous studio spaces for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as shops.

Mark C. Steinberg Hall

The Campus Experience

Being a Sam Fox School student is a unique experience at WashU. Everyone’s always a bit more curious (okay maybe jealous) about what’s happening on our side of campus… It’s just weirder down here. And it’s better that way.


I’m hungry! What’s nearby?

Parkside Café at Schnuck Pavillion

Right across Tisch Park, serving Kaldi’s coffee and espresso, pastries, soup, carvery wraps, paninis, and Grab & Go options.

Coffeestamp

Located in Hillman Hall, Coffeestamp at Grounds for Change serves up handmade empanadas and fresh coffee from Honduras. Stop by for a quick bite to eat from the pastry display case or a dirty horchata!
