Due to explosive growth in the Ascend Training Chicago Loop facility, Ascend is moving to a larger space within the Fine Arts Building at 410 S. Michigan Avenue. The new space will feature an auditorium-style room with seating for 80 to hold more free seminars throughout the year. This space was formerly The Fine Arts Gallery, with access to the historic Fine Arts Courtyard.
Ascend is adding brand new 20" iMacs which will have both OSX and Windows operating systems available. "We are thrilled that this signature space has become available, and feel that this environment will only add to the learning experience of our students," said Jori Curry, President of Ascend Training. Ascend continues to offer their Adobe, Avid and Quark classes in Deerfield, Illinois also.
Since 1998, Ascend has offered hands on training in Adobe applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Flex and ColdFusion. Ascend also offers training in Quark and Avid. Instructors at Ascend are top industry professionals who bring their real world experience to the classroom. Ascend offers a hands-on approach that others have yet to duplicate. By working out in the industry with Flash, Dreamweaver, ColdFusion, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Avid and others, they bring a real-world flavor to the classroom.
Ascend has two training facilities in Deerfield and Chicago Illinois. They also do onsite training all around the country and around the world.

The Fine Arts Building is a home to the visual, literary, and performing arts. The Fine Arts Building was built in 1885 and was originally constructed as a carriage factory and showroom for the Studebaker Corporation. Its original name, "Studebaker Building", is still incised into the center of the red-granite facade. The eight-story building was designed by Chicago architect Solon S. Beman (1853-1914), most well known for his role in designing Pullman, Illinois, the planned industrial community organized by George Pullman. The multiple bays, sweeping arches, and weightiness of the granite and limestone elements are characteristic of the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Studebaker's presence is still felt in a feature which no doubt delights artists with studios on the first several floors -- the unusually large-scale windows, a relic of the days when these floors served as the carriage showrooms, and an architectural marvel in a building with load-bearing granite walls.
