Finding space for the school has long been an issue; the performing arts component was slated to move to the Lincoln Center area in the early 2000s, and a new School of the Arts Building was once planned as a major expansion of Prentis. Currently, the school is slated to be among the first to move to new quarters - specifically, a building nicknamed "The Lantern" - at the center of the new Manhattanville campus.
