Before renovating our Tube Factory artspace building and as we work on expansion of our second 46,000-square-foot “Big Tube” building on the campus, we have visited many other adaptive reuse art spaces around the United States and around the world — including all of the locations listed below.

Many of the strategies and approaches have seen have informed and inspired our adaptive-reuse approach on our campus. We originally shared this list in 2019 but updated links in 2025.

This post explores these places with links to images (often taken during our research trips). We suggest visiting these art spaces!
