Seattle Art School Moving to Ground-Floor Space of Amazon HQ
A longtime school located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, Seattle’s Gage Academy of Art, is set to move into a new space in an Amazon-owned building. In a relocation supported financially by the e-commerce giant, the nonprofit school will now be based out of a modern and amenity-rich facility at the base of an Amazon headquarters tower starting in 2024.
Amazon will provide Gage with more than $7.5 million in rent assistance over the next ten years and offset a significant portion of the cost of construction and space improvement, reported the Seattle Times.
Gage is currently housed in a space in the St. Nicholas building next to St. Mark’s Cathedral. The school will move to a 14,000-square-foot custom-built space in Amazon’s 37-story “re: Invent” building next summer as the first tenant.
