CCA's new graduate center has been recognized for design excellence by the American Institute of Architects, California Council (AIACC), and the institute's San Francisco chapter (AIA SF).

AIACC has awarded the center's designers a 2004 Merit Award for Design, and AIA SF has awarded a 2004 Excellence in Design Award.

The center was designed by Jensen & Macy Architects. Principal Mark Jensen is a former chair of CCA's interior design program.

Located at the corner of Hooper and Eighth Streets, the facility houses studio space for thirty-two fine arts graduate students. The facility also offers an outdoor workspace and two large meeting/installation areas.
