Campus edit

DCAD offers academic facilities at 600 N. Market St., and in the next block to the north at 707 N. King Street. A multimillion-dollar ($4.7M) expansion in student housing opened for Fall 2012 at 707 N. King Street in response to a significant increase in requests for on-campus residency. The former hotel's kitchen has been transformed into a student cafeteria for all resident and commuting students. The 600 North Market building was the initial opening site for the college with an entering student population of 50.[1]
