Development
Two50Two combines the independence of apartment living with the support and services that MIAD can offer!
MIAD’s student housing is located on East Menomonee Street directly across from the school’s main academic building.
Students can take advantage of the full MIAD community experience by living directly on campus and MIAD’s campus is like no other. Students live in the heart of Milwaukee’s trendy Third Ward Neighborhood, known for its art galleries, creative agencies, studios and unique dining and entertainment offerings.
The Third Ward is characterized by historic industrial architecture, loft-style residential buildings and lively street level retail. MIAD students live in the middle of it all.
