Campus
The facilities provided include:

- Sewing Lab
EAA, at one point in time, had 3 branches to accommodate all its students with the occupation of premises at Dato Keramat Road, Seang Teik Road and Anson Road. Now it looks as if the space problem is a thing of the past because the management embarked on a bold millennial project of expansion by moving in into 7 Leith Street, a world heritage mansion that has an exceptionally rich heritage past.
As the new millennium neared the old century bade its goodbye, the eagerness to transverse the trans-century digital divide was greeted by the official opening of EAA's own 5-storey Wisma Equator at Amoy Lane on the 11th of April 1999. This landmark establishment at the Wisma heralded the coming of age of EAA as the cent of educational excellence in the up-and-coming fields of art, design and multimedia.
