FINDING THE CMII BUILDING
The Creative Media Industries Institute is at the southern end of Woodruff Park on the downtown Atlanta campus of Georgia State, at the corner of Edgewood and Park Place avenues. The main CMII entrance faces the park and is accessed through main revolving doors (a building digital monitor with information is positioned between the doors).
