The Letterman Digital Arts Center (LDAC), located in the Presidio, San Francisco, is the combined home of Industrial Light & Magic, LucasArts, and Lucasfilm's marketing, online, and licensing units.
Opening ceremonies were held June 25, 2005. The $350 million, 850,000 square foot (79,000 m²) center sits on a 23-acre (93,000 m2) lot and is home to 1500 employees, who began moving there in July, 2005. The grounds were designed by landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, who also restored San Francisco's Ghirardelli Square. The design architect for the buildings was Gensler, and architect of record was HKS, Inc.
The lobby of Building B is open to the public during regular business hours and contains a gallery of Lucasfilm memorabilia including props and costumes from the Star Wars film series.
The Presidio is a former U.S. Army post. Letterman Digital Arts Center takes its name for the U.S Army's Letterman Army Hospital, which was abandoned and then torn down in 2002. The old hospital and current Digital Arts Center, was named after Army of the Potomac's Medical Surgeon, Dr. Jonathan Letterman.
