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.
