== History ==
In 1905, the Atlanta Art Association helped establish an art college and museum that would later become the Atlanta College of Art and the [[High Museum of Art]], respectively.<ref name="New Georgia Encyclopedia" /> In 1963, the college was incorporated into the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center, later called the [[Woodruff Arts Center]] on [[Peachtree Street]] in [[Midtown Atlanta]], named for its primary benefactor, [[Robert W. Woodruff]].<ref name="New Georgia Encyclopedia" /><ref name="Hostile Takeover" />  The center opened in 1968, comprising ACA, the [[High Museum of Art]], the [[Atlanta Symphony Orchestra]] and the [[Alliance Theatre]].

In August 2005, the boards of trustees of the Woodruff Arts Center and the [[Savannah College of Art and Design]] (SCAD) formally approved the merger of ACA and SCAD. In June 2006, the two institutions combined operations at SCAD's Atlanta location. The merger was widely contested by many ACA students, faculty and members of the Atlanta arts community.<ref name="Hostile Takeover">{{cite web|url=https://creativeloafing.com/content-193640-hostile-takeover|title=Hostile Takeover|work=Creative Loafing|date=3 August 2005|author=Scott Henry}}</ref>

== Campus ==
In 2002, the [[High Museum of Art]] announced an expansion plan for the museum that included a new dormitory for the college. Italian architect [[Renzo Piano]] was hired for the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/23/arts/a-new-broom-sweeps-a-meier-design-clean.html|title=A New Broom Sweeps a Meier Design Clean|work=New York Times|date=23 May 2002|author-link=Julie V. Iovine|last=Iovine|first=Julie V.}}</ref> SCAD acquired this dormitory in its merger with ACA and named it "ACA Residence Hall" in honor of the college.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.scad.edu/life/residence-life/residence-halls|title=Residence Halls|website=Scad.edu|access-date=28 February 2019}}</ref>
