The new building will support the Sam Fox School's vision for integrated education by creating spaces that facilitate collaborative thinking, cross-disciplinary teaching, and the development of knowledge and solutions through innovative research and creative activity. The facility will accommodate new and expanded degree programs for graduate art and architecture students, and encourage connections both within the school and across the university.

Parking will still exist but it will go underground, reached by ramps from Forsyth and Forest Park Parkway. Vehicle capacity will be cut to 790 from what until completion of Hillman were 1,100 surface spots because of what the university said is the dropping demand for campus parking.

The number of parking permits bought by students, faculty and staff on the Danforth campus has fallen from 5,659 passes in the 2007-2008 academic year to 4,543 permits this year.

The decline, largely the result of lower car use by students, can be explained by changing attitudes about driving and the university’s provision of free Metro passes to students and employees, officials said. MetroLink’s Skinker station is at the northeast corner of the Danforth campus.

The garage, to be built first, will provide access to the basements of all four new buildings and might someday have a much different function.

Officials said the garage, under design by BNIM Architects of Kansas City, will be built so that if demand for parking continues to drop at least some of the space could be renovated as laboratories or even classrooms.
