Welcome to The Bascom: a six-building, six-acre campus in Highlands,
North Carolina. Special features include an 87-foot-long covered
bridge entrance called the Will Henry Stevens Bridge; a 2,500 square-foot barn rebuilt for use as the ceramic studio named the Dave Drake
Studio Barn; and a central three-story, 27,500-square-foot Main Building
by DeWolf Architecture and Lord Aeck & Sargent Architecture. The campus construction team included Ross Landscape Architecture, Ferry, Hayes & Allen
Designers (interiors), and Trehel Corporation (construction). Wayne
Yonce was a consultant for the reconstruction of historic buildings. In
addition to the buildings and art offerings, visitors can enjoy a The Horst Winkler Nature and Sculpture Trail with native flora, a pristine brook with cascading
waterfall, and scenic views.
