The main site itself is located on Redwell Street in Norwich which is a 10 minute walk from the city's train station.

The building on Redwell Street which is given the name Francis House is the main reception for NSAD, while the academic building is another 2 minute walk from this point which offers almost all of the equipment you will need from a large Mac' and PC suite, A1 style printing rooms, animation studios, professional sound booths, academic studios and much more besides.

There are 2 areas of accommodation for first year students, the Beechcroft complex off Sprowston Road and Nicholas Mews which is located on the opposite side of Norwich from the train station, both of which are between 10 and 20 minutes' walking distance to most of NSAD's buildings.
