About SCAD-Atlanta

Savannah College of Art and Design-Atlanta, in the heart of midtown Atlanta, brings state-of-the-art facilities and learning to an area burgeoning with artistic, cultural and business activity. Our facilities—including classrooms, exhibition space, studios and residence halls—are tucked into the Atlanta arts district, adjacent to the Woodruff Arts Center. You’ll live and learn in a city considered the cosmopolitan center of the Southeast.

The City
Metro Atlanta is home to more than 5 million people, and is Georgia’s capital. Fortune magazine ranks Atlanta third among “Top cities with the Most Fortune 500 Headquarters.” This means you’ll be able to intern at top companies, such as the Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines and Turner Broadcasting. You’ll network with future employers through class projects and community partnerships.

Atlanta is a fast-paced, modern city with a mild climate and is an exciting place to live with great cultural attractions, several professional sports teams, and more than 100 art galleries. Considered a hub for government, commerce, education, and culture, it’s named among “America’s 50 Hottest Cities for Business Expansion & Relocation” by Expansion Management magazine.

SCAD-Atlanta
SCAD-Atlanta opened in 2005 and expanded in 2006 when the Atlanta College of Art was acquired by SCAD. This broadened our curricula and studio capabilities with offerings at SCAD-Atlanta that aren’t available at SCAD-Savannah, such as our foundry, screen printing studio and letterpress. Our facilities include well-equipped classrooms, multiple galleries, computer labs, a library, photography darkrooms, printmaking and sculpture studios, bookstore, dining hall, fitness center, swimming pool, and two residence halls. Students, faculty, staff and alumni also can sell their work through the shopSCAD retail store and gallery.

Social and co-curricular programming, along with a variety of student organizations, help to round out a complete collegiate experience. In addition, you’ll enjoy a variety of lectures, exhibitions, performances, workshops, regional conferences, seminars and other activities.
