Plzeň - The construction of the Institute of Art and Design (ÚUD) at the campus of the University of West Bohemia in Bory is coming to an end, a “factory for art,” for nearly 200 million crowns. It is a three-story building resembling a production hall, featuring large open and flexibly convertible studios. The construction was shortened by half a year. There is nothing similar in Central Europe, said ÚUD director Josef Mištera to ČTK today.
    "I was inspired by a typical factory hall, which are built very flexibly, where bread can be made one day and cars the next. It is very functional for our work, as we can set up any workspace anywhere. Similar schools exist in the USA," he added.
    According to Mištera, ÚUD must have the possibility for operational reconstruction. “We do not know which field will grow and which will disappear,” he stated. All departments have proposed layouts in the project based on their needs. Inside the building, there are 6,000 square meters of space, double that of what the institute had previously, including a theater for 200 people and a film studio that will integrate artistic fields. The building has outdoor studios covering an area of 1,000 m² and an amphitheater for 400 people.
    The new building is to be the cultural center of the university campus, where over 10,000 people pass daily, many of whom go home just to sleep. "With the help of grants, we will try to ignite it here," he said.
    Students will begin moving into the new building from eight locations in Plzeň in August, with the official opening scheduled for October 18. "It will be a huge show; teams are already working on it," stated Mištera.
    On the ground floor of ÚUD, there will be a public gallery with a café, a study department, workshops, and studios. The second floor will primarily host computer studios, while the third will have offices. The front wall will be entirely covered with billboards.
    The original budget of the institute has been reduced by nearly 130 million crowns due to the crisis and strong competition among suppliers. By the summer of 2013, ÚUD is to be transformed into the ninth faculty of ZČU, which will have the title Faculty of Art and Design Ladislav Sutnar.
    "Our credit is growing. Only nine percent of students are from Plzeň; the rest are from across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries," said Mištera. ÚUD currently operates at eight locations throughout Plzeň. It has nearly 500 students and 60 teachers. The new facility can accommodate up to 600 students. The focus of education is design and applied art. According to Mištera, graduates have no problems finding employment in agencies, publishing houses, and companies. Interest is stable, but the number of talented students is increasing. The institute started in 2002 under the Faculty of Education at ZČU with three specializations and 80 students as a reaction to the lack of a high artistic school in northwest and south Bohemia.
