The historic 165-acre campus nests atop the San Rafael Hills overlooking the Arroyo. Hillside Campus features the iconic modernist bridge designed by Craig Ellwood. The architectural gem has been home to the College since 1976. The structure houses classrooms, office spaces, functional workshops, two film/sound stages and gallery spaces.
The wooded campus also features wide open spaces with a lawn, a basketball course, sculpture garden and a open air pavilion. The campus was featured in multiple films and television series including Bones and more recently, in the Panorama Magazine photoshoot.
