Campus and Housing
In the middle of nowhere,
by choice
There are a lot of factors that contribute to making BigRock the ideal place to begin your journey into the world of entertainment.
Our campus, including housing, restaurants and the school, is located in the middle of the Veneto countryside, on a farm estate surrounded by vineyards.
It is an idyllic place to study, surrounded by nature and without the constant distractions that a crowded city center can bring.
Staying on our campus therefore means being able to experience BigRock well beyond the eight hours of school, but in a stimulating and creative environment in three hundred and sixty degrees: ideal for creating unforgettable memories.
Alpha Headquarters
Between nature and metal.
Architecture
The structure of the Alpha headquarters is a veritable labyrinth.
Every corridor, every corner is designed to be discovered as you walk through the school.
The walls are totally made of wood, beams and ceilings of aluminum and iron, beautiful plants sprout at every corner.
Everything in perfect harmony.
BIG GAME ROOM
An 80s arcade to feel just like in one of the many movies we grew up with.
But in our booths you can't play Pac-Man or Space Invaders ... but games made by students and RED from the Master's in Videogames program.
MAQUETTES
Like a real school, we have the art lab.
To paint, draw or sculpt plasticine, surrounded by dozens of maquettes, to be inspired by past artists.
A place where nothing and no one can distract creativity.
cintiq
Each classroom is equipped with state-of-the-art technology in order to best support each student's creativity.
We use iMac technology for the Master's program in Concept Art, and students also have access to a 27″ Wacom Cintiq and a 12″ Apple iPad Pro with Doodroo paperfeel films.
Sound
Nicknamed "the basement," the Master of Sound Production class is every musician's dream. A chill environment with state-of-the-art sound production technologies-a perfect place to write your next soundtrack.
Holodeck
In the early days a research and development project, now an integral part of Master's programs, Holodeck allows students to harness the power of visors to attend in-depth lectures in multipresence.
Bravo Headquarters
Cement and nature.
Architecture
The Bravo headquarters was built to house everything that stands out from normal everyday classroom life.
The original envelope of the farm estate with concrete walls inside and large windows overlooking the majestic vineyards-a perfect space that connects nature and technology.
The Bravo headquarters houses staff offices, the Studios, the Store, a cafeteria and a huge cinema.
Waibar
The Waibar is the exclusive cafeteria for BigRock teachers and staff. A place to get together and team up over coffee or over a plate of pasta.
The cafeteria can easily transform into a catering/event bar if needed.
BigRock Studios
From the studios at Bravo HQ we bring LIVE streaming of many broadcasts: from video game reviews, to just chatting with our alumni around the world.
Big Cinema
A multifunctional hall, with 200 semi-movable seats and a separate control room.
Here we have meetings or presentations to the school, host events, workshops, video conferences with alumni... but most importantly we watch movies in the evening.
Big Store
In the store you can buy campus merchandise. From t-shirts and sweatshirts, bags and purses, mugs... but also posters and student thesis artbooks.
Sports
Mens sana in corpore sano.
Doing sports for those who spend a lot of time at the computer is extremely important. That's why our campus is equipped with everything you may need to keep moving and cultivate friendships while playing outdoors.
Basketball
Skateboard & Rollerblade
Tennis & Padel
Beach Volleyball
