Otis College of Art and Design
The Otis College of Art and Design was founded in 1918 as Los Angeles's first professional school of art. The school's central campus is located at 9045 Lincoln Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, at the former headquaters of IBM Aerospace center. An architectural relic of the 1960s, the building was completely remodeled in 2011 by Otis College to reflect the unique personality of the school.
