Headquarter and laboratories

The Academy's headquarters also include laboratories dedicated to set design and photography; all teaching spaces are equipped with a video projector or television.

The Aula Magna-Theater is the heart of the institution’s cultural life: this is where the keynote lectures of the many guests invited throughout the Academic Year take place.
From the main atrium, one can access the reception service, the academic office, and the administrative offices.

In addition to spaces dedicated to group and individual study (student lounge, library), the building also features a refreshment area where students can have their meals and stay as long as they wish. This area is equipped with power outlets and seating to recharge their devices, as well as a free water distribution point for the exclusive use of faculty and students.

A few meters from the main headquarters, in a space exclusively for students and faculty of the relevant courses, are the laboratories dedicated to Visual Arts: spacious rooms for decoration, painting, engraving, sculpture, artistic installations, and architectural and interior design drawing.

All spaces are equipped with video projectors and furnished with technical tools and demonstration materials for basic course use by the instructors.

The SantaGiulia Academy’s soundstage is a space dedicated to video experimentation and production, designed to provide students with a hands-on, collaborative experience, equipped with all the necessary technologies for the development of audiovisual projects. It is an immersive environment where students can bring their creative ideas to life and instructors can foster a teaching approach closely linked to practical experimentation—an essential element for courses related to video, scenographic installation, photography, and 3D digital animation.

The space consists of:

• Main Stage: A versatile limbo for various set-ups.
• Second Stage: A photography studio with 3.60-meter paper backdrops, a Manfrotto rail system, and light brackets, optimizing the space with suspended elements.

Additionally, there are five post-production workstations equipped for video editing, audio, color correction, VFX, and video mapping, integrated in real time with production.

In this laboratory, the interaction between different professional roles is crucial for achieving a high-quality final product. While it is possible to work outdoors or in dedicated locations, this space has been specifically designed to meet educational needs, offering students the opportunity to learn in a practical and structured environment where collaboration and creativity are at the heart of every project.
