A leader in art and design education for 80 years, Art Center College of Design offers a rigorous and transdisciplinary curriculum, a faculty of professionals, strong ties to industry and a commitment to socially responsible design. Our students challenge boundaries and take risks, preparing them to realize success and fulfillment in the world of art and design-and beyond.

South Campus, a 100,000-square-foot former supersonic wind tunnel located in downtown Pasadena, was redesigned by architect Kevin Daly and opened in 2004.

Among the first buildings in Pasadena to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, this award-winning structure houses Art Center's Graduate Art and Media Design programs as well as our Public Programs, serving the larger Pasadena community.
