Spaces to Make
Our campus has the tools and the spaces to help you make your vision real.
Our Mac labs, editing stations, and production software—including the Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and Toon Boom—provide you with everything you need to give your work that final polish.
You’ll access the tools you need to make professional-quality work, including 4K cameras, audio recorders, microphones, tripods, lights, studio and field grip equipment, as well as camera dollies and jib arms. (And we have a fully equipped shooting stage and sound recording booth, too!)
When your work is complete, you can show it on the big screen in one of our spacious screening rooms.

Student Success
Partnership between CCAD students and Veterans highlights the healing power of the arts
