Italian academy of fine arts Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) has signed for a new 17,047 sq ft facility at the Here East campus in London.
NABA, which operates campuses in Milan and Rome, will offer a spectrum of creative courses as well as state-of-the-art facilities and student services at its new London site.
Gavin Poole, CEO of Here East, said: “London has long been a global point of reference for fashion design, artistic and creative education, and East London, as a centre for design, culture and innovation, is a key driver of the sector’s growth. The arrival of NABA is further validation of this and of the Here East model. By delivering highly specialised infrastructure that meets the requirements of a global design academy of NABA’s stature, we are creating a unique environment that provides the talent and innovation required for the next generation of global creative businesses.”
Diego Mattiolo, school director and head of education of the new NABA Campus in London, added: “Here East represents everything we look for in a creative community: dynamism, collaboration and a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of creative talent. The campus’s unique blend of universities and cultural institutions creates an environment where our students won’t just learn, they’ll actively contribute to shaping the future of our creative industries.”
