In January 2000, The Art Institute of Washington opened at The Ames Center, 1820 North Fort Myer Drive, Arlington, VA. The renovated building provides an ideal learning environment. The interior was designed with the creative student in mind.

The Art Institute occupies the ground floor and the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth floors of The Ames Center. This space accommodate students and faculty, consists of classrooms, studios, computer labs, a student lounge, administrative offices for staff and faculty, a Learning Resource Center with library and reference materials, student counseling center, tutoring center, teaching kitchens and dining lab, an art supply store, and an exhibition gallery. A key component of our facility and curriculum includes program-specific technology that helps to drive the creative and applied arts.

The Art Institute of Washington is also expanding! With increased enrollment each year, we strive to keep our students comfortable by providing additional facilities for their needs. For example, the Summer of 2004 saw the construction of a new Television Studio and Sound Stage, available to both students and faculty.
