Facilities
The Academy of Art University holds classes in over 40 buildings located throughout the eastern and southern sections of San Francisco. A handful of these buildings are significant historical structures bought by the academy to preserve them from demolition or irreversible commercial redevelopment. As part of its goal to encourage education in the arts, the Academy purchased art studios that were once owned by the non-profit San Francisco Art Institute to keep them from being converted to other uses. Residence facilities and all academic buildings are linked by an extensive school shuttle bus system used by both students and employees of the school.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
