Flagg Building

The Flagg Building is the home base for our Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. The architecturally stunning Beaux-Arts building was originally a gallery and art school before being absorbed by GW.

As a student in Corcoran, you have the opportunity to use innovative spaces to create your art, both as a part of class and outside of it. From ceramics, painting and screen-printing studios, to fabrication labs and a wood shop, you can explore and push the limits of your creativity.
