AFTER an astounding 28 years of providing top-notch creative education, the time has come for a new chapter for The One Academy.

Starting from humble beginnings in a single storey shoplot in SS14, Petaling Jaya to a three-storey establishm­ent in the heart of Bandar Sunway in 1991, its founders were dedicated to providing world-class creative education to the younger generation.

Throughout the years, it has expanded to continue pursuing this goal. Now, in an effort to continue imparting top-grade creative knowledge to the masses, The One Academy invested RM200mil in total to upgrade its standards to greater heights and has relocated to a new campus located in a high-rise building.

Located in the bustling area of Sunway, the new campus spans over 25 levels of infrastruc­ture and is equipped with industry-standard facilities to bring teaching and learning to the next level. Travelling to and from the new campus will be a breeze with the ample options of public transporta­tion, such as BRT, KTM, LRT and buses located just steps away.

Other amenities include a food court, printing services, an art shop on campus as well as many other eateries in and around The One Academy.

Safety and security of the students is also improved, as they do not have to cross the roads for classes because all of it takes place inside the building.

Besides that, there are also ample parking spaces provided for students as well as being strategica­lly located right next to main highways such as the Federal, LDP and NPE Highways.

This move was in line with The One Academy’s vision of leading innovation­s and developmen­ts within the creative services industry and permits it to expand its teaching capabiliti­es. Holding strong to its philosophy of “Masters Train Masters”, the new campus allows it to house and bring in even more industry experts and profession­als as well as accommodat­e additional new creative internatio­nal programmes to provide the best in creative education.

Among the facilities made available is a library in which students can find an abundance of materials and tools to assist them, student lounges, theatre halls and auditorium­s where master classes and talks will be held as well as labs and work spaces for training and practical workshops.

Besides that, there are also studios for sound recording, photograph­y and videograph­y to enable students to convenient­ly work on their projects using top-grade technology.

Each faculty at The One Academy has its own designated area, ensuring all the students are able to learn in a conducive and engaging environmen­t.

The One Academy takes this opportunit­y to thank all those who have supported it thus far in its journey of becoming one of the world’s best creative design academy and helped to make its dream a reality and hopes for continuous support to grow further.

The One Academy is committed to providing the best art education programmes and continues to nurture its students passionate­ly through its “Masters Train Masters” coaching philosophy, which has been practised for the past 28 years by providing diploma and degree courses namely advertisin­g and graphic design, digital animation, digital media design, film visual effects, interior architectu­re and design, illustrati­on, fine arts and Paris fashion design and pattern making.
