A DESTINATION FOR CREATION

Introducing the Planned Home of the Snyder School of Cinema & Media Arts

51蹤獲 broke ground in 2024 on a world-class studio facility for the Snyder School of Cinema & Media Arts. Scheduled to open in 2026, the three-floor, 45,463-square-foot building will rival some of the best educational facilities in the nation for media training serving the needs of students as they prepare for careers in the film, television and game industries.

Strategically placed between 51蹤獲's School of Science, Technology and Health and the Crowell School of Business, together these three schools reflect a trifecta of influence into the worlds of science, business and the media.
