SCAD Atlanta Continues to Enhance its Midtown Campus with Luxury Student Housing and a New 4D Experience
Forty Five was designed to cater to all aspects of student life by offering apartment-style dormitories, academic facilities, rooftop pool and greenspace, and SCADshow, a state-of-the-art entertainment and performance venue.
SCAD Atlanta continues to enhance its dynamic Midtown campus. Last September, the university unveiled FORTY FIVE, a 14-story tower that could be mistaken for a luxury hotel. Named in honor of SCAD’s founding 45 years ago by school president Paula Wallace, FORTY FIVE was designed to cater to all aspects of student life by offering apartment-style dormitories, academic facilities, health and wellness amenities such as a rooftop pool and greenspace, and SCADshow, a state-of-the-art entertainment and performance venue. “We know from our internal research that students who live on campus attend more classes, earn higher grades, and are more likely to graduate on time, making FORTY FIVE a foundational asset in SCAD student success,” says Wallace. “We made FORTY FIVE a building you never want
to leave.”
Also set to make a splash is the spring debut of SCADstory, a 4D experience that Wallace anticipates will become an Atlanta attraction. “Imagine stepping inside a Disneyesque immersive animation that invites guests into the very heart of SCAD. How did SCAD come to be? Who built this wonderland? SCADstory answers every question in a way that only SCAD could create, employing visual effects and the latest storytelling tech—the very same thoughtful design we teach.”
