Gnomon’s new three-story building features fully accessible, state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, lounges, lecture rooms, and a large art gallery, all designed by Founder and President Alex Alvarez. Using Maya and Unreal Engine for architectural visualizations, Alvarez designed custom interiors to meet the needs of a diverse student population.
The new campus design prioritizes student well-being, providing a secure and welcoming environment. Gnomon is surrounded by major studios such as DreamWorks, Universal Studios, Warner Bros. Studios, and Disney Animation, offering unparalleled opportunities for networking and professional growth.
Conveniently situated in the NoHo West complex, the campus offers easy access to a variety of amenities, including a grocery store and a movie theater, as well as over 25 restaurants and shops. With 3,000 square feet of outdoor patio space on campus, students also have plenty of areas to relax and collaborate outside the classroom. The campus is north of the junction of the 101 and 170 freeways, providing easy access for students and faculty throughout the L.A. region.
