SCAD's efforts to work with the city of Savannah to preserve its architectural heritage include restoring buildings for use as college facilities, for which it has been recognized by the American Institute of Architects, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Historic Savannah Foundation and the Victorian Society of America.
The college campus includes 67 buildings throughout the grid-and-park system of downtown Savannah.
Many buildings are on the famous 21 squares of the old town, which are laden with monuments, live oaks and a Southern-Gothic feel.

Located in Atlanta's Midtown, SCAD Atlanta includes classroom and exhibition space, computer labs, library, photography darkrooms, printmaking and sculpture studios, a dining hall, fitness center, swimming pool and residence hall.
SCAD Atlanta's Ivy Hall opened in 2008 after extensive restoration.
In 2009, SCAD Atlanta opened the Digital Media Center.

The SCAD Lacoste campus is made up of 15th- and 16th-century structures.
The campus includes an art gallery, guest houses, computer lab and printmaking lab.
In Hong Kong, SCAD occupies renovated historic North Kowloon Magistracy Building, with more than 80,000 square feet (7,400 m²).
It is equipped with classrooms, meeting areas, computer labs, an art gallery and library.

The college's first academic building was the Savannah Volunteer Guard Armory, which was purchased and renovated in 1978–79.
Built in 1892, the Romanesque Revival red brick structure is included on the National Register of Historic Places.
Originally named Preston Hall, the building was renamed Poetter Hall in honor of co-founders May and Paul Poetter.
SCAD soon expanded rapidly, acquiring buildings in Savannah's downtown historic and Victorian districts, restoring old and often derelict buildings that had exhausted their original functions.

The College operates four libraries: Jen Library in Savannah, Georgia; ACA Library in Atlanta, Georgia; Hong Kong Library in Hong Kong; and Lacoste Library in Lacoste, France.
There is also a large amount of resources available via the eLearning Library.

The most notable of the group is Jen Library for the size of its collection.
The Jen Library houses approximately 42,000 books, 11,000 bound volumes of periodicals, and 1,600 videotapes in an 85,000 square foot building.
The building, itself, once served as a Maas Brothers department store before being acquired and repurposed by the University.
Its structural and design features include a large glass staircase and floor-to-ceiling windows on opposite corners of the building.
The Jen Library houses multiple rare collections containing both books and visual arts materials including the Don Bluth Collection of Animation and the Newton Collection of British and American Art.
It is also home to the Gutstein Gallery, an assemblage of contemporary art from both nationally recognized artists as well as SCAD alumni.
