College Road Campus was formerly the Royal National College building.  This outstanding arts and crafts style building provides a perfect base for the independent arts school.

This is the main base for the University-Level community with plenty of affordable student housing close-by, including our new Station Approach accommodation.

The College building was refurbished the spaces adapted into studios, workshops, on-site library, photographic studios and stores, dark rooms and IT facilities including a large digital Mac and printing suite.  The campus has an abundance of social space, a large hall ideal for sports and recreation, and canteen facilities.
