The Rancho Santiago Community College District’s (RSCCD) Digital Media Center (DMC) that opened in August 2006 is the first facility of its kind in Orange County combining education and business in the digital media industry. The DMC was created to stimulate economic growth in Orange County by attracting emerging businesses to the area and providing educational programs in digital media arts, TV/video communication, digital music and business seminars.

The 28,000 square-foot DMC also features a business incubator program dedicated to the emerging digital media industry in the Orange County area.

The $13.5 million project was made possible through a collaborative effort among the RSCCD, Santa Ana College, the City of Santa Ana, U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration and the WRJ Group.
