32 S AE’s bold decision to choose ultra-metro- politan Chicago as a campus location is quite simply a game changer in the world of creative media education. The 19,000 square foot facility brings a whole new dimension to the city, and redefines the education- al landscape. Construction began in April, 2012 with the initial rollout and grand opening in August of the same year. Located in the heart of River North, this downtown location was a perfect fit for this extra- ordinary campus. This premier Chicago neighbourhood is known for its copious galleries and art studios, so plac- ing a creative media education facility here was an ideal fit. The design of the new campus followed a pattern that would help create a new SAE rollout. This campus would be a leader in pushing the usual boundaries by offering all aspects of creative media. The studios were built by world-renowned designer Mike Cronin with every inch of the building meticulously planned out. Underneath the floors is a highly advanced technological grid, connecting every room together in the most efficient way. The figure 8 or infinity layout houses numerous elements and is equipped with its well reputed, industry standard equipment. The north-side of the 19,000 square foot building is home to a large classroom with 10 student stations equipped with a 24-inch iMac, a Maschine Mikro, and an M-Audio Axiom. Each station also includes AVID Pro Tools, Native Ultimate and Maschine, heads Reason, and Apple Across the hall is the Le which has an instructor and six iMac computer st Creative Suite along with In the coming weeks, fiv be installed featuring th plement on a Mac Mini Mackie 1604 VLZ3 mixe SAE & SAE Alumni News // Campus Portrait Chicago
