Dear MCAD community,
MCAD is in the process of changing over our heating system in the Morrison building from steam heat from the MIA to a stand-alone boiler system. The new boiler will be situated in the existing papermaking room in the basement of the Morrison building and is slated for installation starting spring 2027 with preparatory work done beginning in 2026. As a result, MCAD’s papermaking facilities will not be available during the 2026-27 academic year.
This will affect our Print Paper Book curriculum in the following ways:
- PPB Techniques: Paper processes will be reduced
- Papermaking classes: Will not be offered next academic year
PPB faculty and staff are working on ways to minimize the impact and look forward to re-constructing a paper-making space as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please reach out to Academic Affairs atacademic_affairs@mcad.edu.
Thank you for your understanding.
