Facilities

Facilities remain on the school’s priority over the coming months. New studios were completed in 2018 at FADA and the brand-new FADA FAB LAB, Phase 1 is up and running, with Phase 2 scheduled for completion in September 2020.

We have two main sites:

The GSA Studios - FADA
(University of johannesburg)

Our GSA Studios are located at FADA, within the Faculty and alongside the eight other departments of FADA, including the Undergraduate Programme, the DoA.

Dedicated studio spaces, a seminar room and a common room are available to all GSA students on a first-come, first-served basis at the beginning of the year.

As the school continues to grow and expand, we are looking for additional studio spaces both at FADA and at our downtown home, GSA Metro.
