Frisco copies Savannah

San Francisco is going down the path pioneered by SCAD in Savannah.

San Francisco State University is in negotiations to build a digital arts campus in the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, a project Mayor Gavin Newsom is hoping will become the heart of a sprawling film and new media business cluster in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods.

Under the scenario being discussed, the city would give the building to SFSU, which would then convert it into a state-of-the-art center for new media and digital cinema.
