THE CAMPUS
On Europe's largest innovative campus
There are many factors that make BigRock the ideal place to start your journey into the world of digital art.
One example among many – BigRock is located on the H-FARM Campus: an area of over 50 hectares stretching out in front of the magnificent Venice Lagoon. The only place in Europe where education, innovation, and startups coexist.
A unique location to study, surrounded by nature and without the constant distractions that a crowded city center can bring.
It is a place open to everyone: students, professionals, entrepreneurs, startups, and innovation enthusiasts.
With its sports facilities, restaurants, and spaces to congregate, the H-FARM Campus is the right place to be at every moment of your adventure with us.
So much so that you will be sorry to go home at night.

The Base
Where you will take classes
Overlooking the entire campus, The Base houses the classrooms and spaces where you’ll spend most of your time during the program.
The classrooms within the building are organized by Master’s program, each equipped with state-of-the-art workstations. You’ll find everything you need: computers and specialized tools to follow lectures and practice on your own or with your classmates.
At the center of the building is La Serra: a massive cafeteria adorned with plants where you can spend your lunch breaks or simply relax with a coffee alongside your classmates in a space designed for relaxation.
OPENING HOURS: 9 AM – 10 PM
The Vault
Where you will attend workshops
Right next to the Base is The Vault, the basement of one of the H-FARM buildings.
As you descend a beautiful staircase, you’ll be able to escape from it all and enjoy a multifunctional space designed to host all the educational activities that don’t take place in the classroom.
In The Vault, you’ll attend art labs, enjoy introductory workshops, and listen to the voices of friends and prominent figures who’ll stop by to visit us.
Prusa 3D printers will also be at your disposal, so you can create objects or your first custom action figures.
OPENING HOURS: 9AM – 6PM
The Classes
Your sacred space
You will have a state-of-the-art computer at your disposal: whether iMac with Apple Silicon processor or custom assembled PC with gaming features. Concept Art students will then draw on Wacom Cintiq Pro and Sound Production students will compose their soundtracks on Arturia keyboards.
You'll lean on solid oak tables, custom designed and crafted for comfort and visual serenity.
You'll sit on ergonomic Herman Miller chairs-the best on the market and guaranteed for life. But because we care about the health of your back, every week there will be a personal trainer who will offer a stretching and mobility class.
Sports
Mens sana in BigRocker sano
On campus you'll have 5,000 square feet of outdoor and 1,600 indoor sports facilities to practice tennis, padel, grass soccer, rock climbing, soccer, basketball, beach volleyball, BMX, skateboarding and more.
It's a great time to relieve your nerves and have fun with your new friends not only from BigRock, but from all H-FARM schools.
