    • DC Georgetown Campus:  In the heart of Georgetown, the Washington, DC campus is part of an energetic, historic community. Located in The Foundry Building, the campus is only blocks from the waterfront. From its unique beginnings at the former Foundry Theater, the campus features 18,000-square feet of advanced studios and classrooms in a spacious, gallery-like location. Getting to and from school is also convenient, by car or public transportation. The Georgetown Metro Connection runs a regular service to and from nearby Foggy Bottom Metro stop, while the DC Circulator links to destinations across the city.
