Studio

Nestled in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, the expansive 60,000-square-foot SCAD Film Studios was the former home of Atlanta TV station WXIA, which broadcast from the building for more than 50 years. SCAD acquired the building in 2008 and reopened it as the SCAD Digital Media Center in 2009. In addition to its film and TV production spaces, the building also houses digital resources for the university’s animation, game development, and visual effects programs.
