How to Reach ISAD

ISAD is located at Corso Lodi 59, in the southern part of Milan, just a short walk from the Fondazione Prada. The area is well served by public transport, making it easy for students, faculty, and visitors to reach the school from anywhere in the city. The closest metro station is Lodi T.I.B.B. on the yellow line (M3), which is only a few minutes' walk from the campus. Several tram and bus lines also stop nearby, including tram 16 and bus 62, 65, and 90/91. For those arriving by train, Milano Rogoredo and Milano Centrale stations are both connected to the yellow metro line, providing a direct route to the school.

If you are travelling by car, please note that Corso Lodi is a major thoroughfare with limited parking. We recommend using public transport or the nearby paid parking facilities. The school is also accessible by bicycle, with bike lanes along Corso Lodi and surrounding streets. For international visitors, Milano Linate airport is the closest, approximately 20 minutes by taxi or 30 minutes by public transport. Milano Malpensa and Orio al Serio airports are further away but well connected by shuttle buses to Milano Centrale.

Once you arrive, you will find the ISAD campus in a modern building that houses classrooms, design studios, workshops, and administrative offices. The reception desk is located on the ground floor, where staff can assist you with directions and general inquiries. Visitors are kindly asked to sign in at reception upon arrival.

Visiting the School

Prospective students and their families are welcome to visit ISAD to experience the school's atmosphere and learn more about our programmes. We organise guided tours throughout the academic year, typically on weekdays. During a visit, you will have the opportunity to see our facilities, meet current students and faculty, and ask questions about the curriculum, admissions process, and student life. To arrange a visit, please contact the general information email or call the school during office hours. We recommend booking at least one week in advance to ensure availability.

In addition to individual visits, ISAD hosts open days and orientation events, especially in spring and early summer. These events provide a comprehensive overview of the school, including presentations by the academic director, workshops, and portfolio reviews. Dates and details are announced on our website and social media channels. If you are unable to attend in person, we also offer virtual tours and online information sessions. Please contact the admissions team for more information.

For international visitors, we can provide advice on accommodation and travel arrangements. Our Counselling & Accommodation page offers useful tips and resources. We also recommend exploring the vibrant neighbourhood around the school, which is home to the Fondazione Prada, numerous design studios, and a growing number of cafes and restaurants.
