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.

We occupy the ground floor and the eighth, 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, Television Studio, Sound Stage, 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.
