The [URL=https://www.digipen.edu/]DigiPen Institute of Technology[/URL] will be moving to new digs this summer.

DigiPen will remain entrenched in Redmond, Washington, but it’s new location in North Redmond, in a former Microsoft building, will boast over 100,000 square feet of space. As noted [URL=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/technologybrierdudleysblog/index.html]in the Seattle Times[/URL], DigiPen currently splits its educating across two different locations.

The new location will be home for all bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and will also host DigiPen’s K-12 initiatives. It’s also hoped that the additional space will allow the school to churn out more graduates—from 900 currently to a goal of around 1,200 in the future.

DigiPen USA COO Raymond Yan commented:

[INDENT]The companies in Redmond feel like an extended family to us, so we are thrilled to stay close to them. DigiPen is part of Redmond, and Redmond is part of us. It has been an honor to work with Arden and the City of Redmond on this project and we look forward to seeing how DigiPen grows in this community and beyond.

[/INDENT]DigiPen degree programs include entries in both the Arts & Animation and Mathematics, Science and Engineering categories.
