A brand new campus—designed to make you feel good.

You’re here because you want to do work that you love in an environment that’s inspiring. Why not start now?

We built a brand-new campus on Robson Street and made it beautiful, functional, and community-oriented, so you can wake up in the morning and be excited to come to school.

Open studios, spa rooms, and salons. Natural light and wood tones. A colourful student hub for decompressing. Dedicated focus rooms for when you need to get in the zone. 2,200 square feet of studio space for all your creative ideas to come to life.

Plus, everything you need at your fingertips—right outside our doors on Robson Street (yes, including Breka within walking distance).
