This new campus is stacked with all the tech and equipment you’ll need: digital and analogue studios, gaming consoles, electronic music gear, a multi-purpose film studio, professional digital film cameras and accessories, two edit suites and five computer labs with the latest industry-standard software.

For those who need a quiet space, we’ve carved out dedicated quiet study areas and a large balcony to soak in some sunshine while you work. It’s also a sweet space for events and networking.
