We'll share a vintage University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) photo each Thursday on our homepage as part of the popular "Throwback Thursday."
Check back each week for a photo celebrating UNO's history, and to learn more about what's happening on campus and in our community, and future plans for the university.
This week's Throwback Thursday photo features a photo of the Weber Fine Arts Building (WFAB) under construction in 1991.
The award-winning building, designed by Hardy, Holzman and Pfeiffer Associates of New York to be an "inhabited sculpture on campus," was completed in 1992. This unique four-story, 300 feet-long structure houses the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media's (CFAM) Departments of Art & Art History, Theatre, and Writer’s Workshop, as well as the Black Box Theatre, the UNO Art Gallery and the college's administrative offices.
WFAB has dedicated studio spaces for drawing, printmaking, painting, papermaking, book arts, electronic imaging, art education, and graphic arts. Art History classrooms are fitted with equipment for projecting slides, videos, CDs, PowerPoint presentations and websites. Writer's Workshop students benefit an up-to-date literary magazine library housed in the building.
