Expression is located at 6601 Shellmound St. in Emeryville, California in the San Francisco East Bay Area (near Berkeley). Once a warehouse and industrial district of the Bay Area, Emeryville has evolved into a city known for artistic expression, biotech research, and software development. The school, located just off of Interstate 80, is easily accessed from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, and surrounding cities. Many amenities can be found nearby. Restaurants, a large food court, a multi-screen Cineplex, bookstores, a high-end shopping center, and much more are only a short distance from campus. A network of public transportation, including the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), city buses, trains, and the “Emery-Go-Round”, free shuttles make the school easy to access.
We’re a hop, skip and a jump from the Silicon Valley and directly on the pulse of the entertainment industrys’ digital heartbeat. Could you imagine a more perfect place for our digital arts college?
