ESP Company Announces  $47 Million Investment to Expand Campus Hollywood

The ESP Company, LTD has unveiled initial plans to expand Campus Hollywood's complex of schools in the heart of Los Angeles. With more than $47 million invested in new property acquisitions over the last three years, Campus Hollywood will soon grow to encompass more than 180,000 square feet of adjoining buildings on or near Highland Avenue between Hollywood Blvd. and Sunset Blvd. The investment also coincides with the U.S. government's announcement last week that Hollywood-led creative industries are positively impacting the U.S. economy, including $104 billion in revenue from arts education.
 
In addition to the reorganization and upgrading of existing Campus Hollywood properties-including Musicians Institute, Theatre of Arts, International Dance Academy and Elegance International's school for professional makeup-the planned expansion will eventually feature a new live performance venue, a student dormitory, parking lots, and more.  The newly integrated campus will provide students with unparalleled educational opportunities through access to multiple schools; while encouraging a collaborative artistic atmosphere enhanced by its premiere entertainment industry networking location.
"I'm so thrilled to be one step closer to realizing the vision I've had for the past 20 years," said Hisatake Shibuya, Founder of The ESP Company, LTD and Campus Hollywood.  "That vision is to create a place in Los Angeles where people from all over the world can come to create and share their wonderful talents for the whole world to discover.  No matter what the state of the economy is, I believe that investing in the arts-music, film, dance and more-will always be important in the long term.  I'm very excited to finally share this vision with everyone."
