Filming on Campus

Gallaudet University is the world's only liberal arts university in which all programs and services are designed to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students. Our 99-acre campus includes buildings dating back to the late 1800s, many of which are in the National Register of Historic Places, as well as modern buildings designed with architectural concepts known as DeafSpace, which create a more visually accessible space for people who communicate using sign language.
