FACILITIES

While it’s important to understand that people and our own initiative, not buildings, will make the difference in achieving success, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and facilities is a requirement in today’s society.

The College’s computer labs, studios, resource libraries, exhibitions spaces, audio facilities, workshops, specialized labs, soundstages, studios, theaters, newsrooms, darkrooms, and photography labs are available and easily accessible for anything our students need to produce and exhibit their creative endeavors.
