Lasalle College of the Arts (stylised as LASALLE College of the Arts, Chinese: 拉萨尔艺术学院), formerly LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts, is an arts educational institution in Singapore. LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London, provides tertiary arts education. Founded in 1984 by De La Salle educator, Brother Joseph McNally, LASALLE today offers a range of diplomas and degrees in design, fine arts, film, media arts, fashion, dance, music, theatre, art therapy, Asian art histories, and arts management. LASALLE is a non-profit, private educational institution operating autonomously with financial support from the Singapore Ministry of Education. 

Relocation and facilities

LASALLE's City Campus at 1 McNally Street
Interior of the City Campus.

LASALLE moved to its new home in the heart of Singapore in June 2007.[1] Located in the Rochor area, bounded by Prinsep Street, Short Street, and Albert Street, the new City Campus sits on a one-hectare site, which is part of the area designated as the Arts, Design, Culture, Learning and Entertainment hub of Singapore.

Renaming

In recognising LASALLE's aim to be a recognised Singaporean brand name, it was agreed with Singapore Airlines (SIA) that the word "SIA" would be phased out of the institution's name and so it was branded simply as "LASALLE" by the end of February 2007.

The main theatre at the City Campus is named The Singapore Airlines Theatre. The Singapore Airlines Theatre symbolises the warm relations between the two institutions that began in 1993 when SIA contributed S$15 million to fund the construction of two buildings at LASALLE's Goodman Road campus.
