The Newton Center was founded in 2001 through the inspiration of Earle W. Newton, Ph.D., a retired museum director, publisher and educator, whose generous donation of art, antiquarian books, maps and reference materials forms the core of the center's academic and research resources. The center houses notable British resources from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The Newton gift also includes property in Vermont and an early Georgian townhouse in Horncastle, England.

Designed by Hyman Witcover in 1909, this Moorish Mediterranean-style building was originally a synagogue and later a church. The facility is now a student center with assembly and recreational space, and offices for student involvement.

Designed by William G. Preston as the Savannah Volunteer Guards Armory, the 36,248-square-foot Romanesque Revival-style building features deep arches, massive corner towers and ornate wrought iron balconies overlooking beautiful Madison Square. The building, which originally contained a drill hall, ballroom, large company rooms and a club for the guards, now houses the SCAD welcome center, the departments of admission and graphic design, shopSCAD and the May Poetter Gallery.
