Why the New Campus?

Next-Gen Learning Campus

To stay ahead in a fast-evolving industry, learning spaces must transform. Our new campus has been engineered to:

  • Scale up facilities: from ~5,000 sq ft earlier to over 15,000 sq ft – more labs, more studios, more space to breathe and create.
  • Integrate advanced technologies: motion-capture studios, volumetric capture booths, AR/VR labs, immersive projection rooms, and real-time rendering suites.
  • Enhance collaboration: multiple workshop zones, creative labs, makerspaces, and co-working pods for team-based and cross-disciplinary projects.
  • Create a flexible learning environment: modular classrooms, digital lecture theaters, virtual classrooms, and outdoor creative commons.
  • Uplift production quality: dedicated sound studios, green-screen rooms, post-production labs with access to the latest hardware and software tools used in global media & entertainment.
