An old Armouries Building built in downtown Windsor in 1900 to train soldiers heading off to war has been converted for a new generation into a fully equipped student arts centre, as the University of Windsor deepens its roots in its community.
The new School of Creative Arts featuring a dozen music practice rooms, a performance hall, photography and painting studios and classrooms, is now home to 500 students, faculty and staff following the historic armoury’s conversion into light, lofty spaces intended to foster creativity.
