"Why now? I hear students and staff say," says Garth Homes, AFDA co-founder and chairman. "Unfortunately there's no such thing as a 'perfect' time to do something like this. We just have to look forward to enjoying the new facility in the future," he said.
COO of AFDA Cape Town, Mr Jaco Jansen van Rensburg, says, "After months of design consultation and council submissions we are in motion. The current campus resembles a war zone film set; ready for a compelling action sequence, the stage is set for the essential upgrading of a campus which will add infinite value as a springboard and foundation to facilitate and invigorate the daily student life and study requirements with a campus which is inspiring, yet purposefully aesthetic. We look forward to the completion in mid-April 2012 and thank staff, students and parents for their patience and support during this short construction phase."
