JTRE London has let 14,000 sq ft at Triptych Bankside, SE1, to Art Academy London.
The art school has taken two floors in the Squire & Partners-designed building on a 10-year lease.
It will use the space for additional teaching and exhibitions. It will be relocating from its current campus in nearby Borough High Street, SE1.
Teaching facilities in the space, which is part of a £450m mixed-use development made up of three towers, will include nine studios and an auditorium for 100 people. The site also has 169 luxury apartments in two blocks, office space in a third and 14,800 sq ft of retail.
Rob Pepper, principal of Art Academy London, said: “The combination of bold architecture, exceptional quality and first-class cultural location make Triptych Bankside the ideal space for us.
“Our focus is on an intensive and hands-on teaching, which means having the right facility is vital for inspiring our staff and students.
“Additionally, we stage exhibitions, host classes and workshops, provide free tuition to local charities working with disabled artists and free places on our young artists courses to local schoolchildren, so the location is perfect.”
