The fencing is the façade for this expansion of the Graduate Studies Campus at the California College of the Arts. Aluminum expanded metal mesh forms an open scrim-like curtain wall at the street edge. 

The project consists of the retrofit of an existing warehouse and the addition of a new ground-up pre-engineered steel building parallel to the existing structure. The interiors of both structures house simple plywood individual workspaces for graduate fine arts students. An open courtyard is formed between the two buildings with shade trees and outdoor workshops.
