Pennsylvania College of Art & Design is taking the next step in its development as a regional leader in art and design education with the construction of the new “Design Center at PCA&D.”
Work on the Design Center (the "South Studio" area is pictured above) has begun and is scheduled for completion by late August, just in time for the 2010-2011 academic year. A formal dedication of the space will be held at PCA&D during Fall 2010.
The Center is a 9,200 square foot expansion and facility enhancement of the College.

Pennsylvania College of Art & Design’s facilities provide students with classrooms featuring digital projectors for presentations and appropriate industry-standard equipment for each discipline, as well as large teaching studios for students working in more traditional media. The entire college has wireless Internet access available for students working on laptops. PCA&D also offers gallery space for hosting exhibitions by regional and national artists and ample room in the hallways to display and critique student artwork.
The college’s library features a wealth of current resources – from hard-copy to digital media offerings – to facilitate research and creativity. For those who wish to study in groups or socialize, PCA&D offers several student lounges, the largest of which is a spacious two-story atrium on the first floor of the south building.
