The students therefore operate and cultivate their experiences in a suggestive and pervasive frame of influence dating back to an illustrious past. Upon entering the two palaces that house the university, students find themselves immersed in a modern, minimalist interior in which carefully preserved vestiges of the past manifest themselves in a harmonious environment dedicated to the advancement of artistic disciplines. One has the possibility of learning the latest technological procedures of a given media such as video in a lecture hall graced by original Renaissance wooden ceiling beams and other such architectural gems that abound in the interiors and exteriors of both the Palazzo Doni and Palazzo Guicciardini-Strozzi, located just across the street.

The interior workspace of Florence University of the Arts are extremely well outfitted whether for laboratory and hands-on or theoretic courses. The three Media Labs are used for courses in Digital Photography, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Fashion & Accessory Design, and Video production. The Painting Room in Palazzo Doni, dedicated to Raphael, is a vast and well equipped space, illuminated by numerous windows that give a prominent view overlooking the Biblioteca Nazionale. The study spaces dedicated to the students are very comfortable and include a spacious library with reading room, stations for online research, and an open computer lab composed of twenty workstations featuring internet access. In addition, there is an Art Lab for Ceramics and other disciplines such as Mixed Media and Sculpture, a technologically advanced Dark Room for classic photography, and Jewelry laboratories.
