San Diego California Colleges and Universities | NSAD

Located in San Diego’s East Village, the NewSchool of Architecture and Design campus lies right in the middle of the downtown art district—where local architects and other creative professionals have transformed once-empty industrial space into contemporary and often sustainable offices and studios. Easily accessible by public transportation, NSAD’s surrounding environment ensures a rich urban context for the study of design-related fields.

NSAD’s 83,000-square-foot campus is comprised of design studios, classrooms, technology and project labs, the student center, and the library—some of which are accessible to students 24/7 and are fully compliant with federal, state, and local ordinances, including regulations for fire safety, building safety and health.
