campus moved from its former location in the Burnham Center to classroom and studio space on the Roosevelt University campus located at 425 South Wabash Avenue in the Chicago Loop. While both colleges remain independent institutions with unique identities, the new location provides Flashpoint Chicago students with access to Roosevelt University campus amenities such as housing, food service, cultural and sporting events, fitness center, library, and all student resources open to the general Roosevelt University population. Founded in 1945, Roosevelt University is home to the Chicago College of the Performing Arts, a natural partner for Columbia College Hollywood's creative degree programs. The university’s campus building on Wabash is the tallest educational building in Chicago and is located in the heart of the vibrant South Loop neighborhood with close proximity to restaurants, Grant Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, and multiple Chicago “L” and bus lines.
