The Visual Arts Building began its service to the college as the Metal Trades Building in 1957.  In 1983, it was renovated and converted to the Communications Building and served that capacity until 1997 when the Communications Department was moved into Moody Hall.  Prior to this time, the Art Department classrooms were located in the Seal Academic Building.  This building is a one story with a full basement, containing 4,290 square feet divided into two classrooms, a laboratory, and offices.

It is located on College Drive next to the M.R. White Colesium parking lot and across the street from the intramurial/practice field.
