Digital Media Arts Center
The 18,000 square-foot Digital Media Arts Center is specifically designed to establish
Dodge College as a recognized leader in the digital arts, an area of current and projected
growth in the booming creative economy.
A working, industry-standard studio that rivals those of Pixar, Disney, Microsoft
or Google, the Digital Media Arts Center combines “hang-out spaces” that include a
coffee bar, relaxed indoor lounge and large patio with picnic tables, with flexible
classrooms and laboratories that provide Dodge College students with access to the
very latest technology so that they are well-prepared to work on Hollywood’s most
technically sophisticated projects.
Chapman Studios West
Chapman Studios West offers facilities for expanding undergraduate and graduate degree
programs in news and documentary filmmaking and television writing and production,
creating much-needed general production and editing space.

an extensive art and prop department and scene construction shop – as well as cinematography,
documentary filmmaking, and television production. Chapman Studios West also provides
a permanent home for the widely popular documentary filmmaking programs in the Dhont
