Electronic Arts video game company plans to relocate its Central Florida headquarters in Maitland to the developing Creative Village in downtown Orlando, becoming a neighbor to the UCF Downtown campus and its graduate video game design school and expanding opportunities for university graduates to enter the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cEA\u2019s presence here creates an immediate pipeline with our educational partners in and around the Creative Village,\u201d said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer at the announcement Wednesday during his annual State of Downtown address. \u201cTheir presence here also serves as a magnet to attract companies and investment into the Creative Village, accelerating our industry cluster in digital media.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company has been the biggest video game creator in Central Florida since purchasing a small studio, Tiburon, about 20 years ago. The plan now is to move to a five-story complex in the new Creative Village, which has been home to UCF\u2019s Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy since 2004 and where UCF Downtown opened for classes this fall.<\/p>\n

One of the drivers for UCF to open the downtown campus was for students to be close to internships and job opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a major win for Orlando becoming a digital media hub<\/a>,\u201d says Ben Noel, executive director of FIEA and former EA employee. \u201cFifteen years ago, EA Tiburon had roughly 150 employees with only a few UCF graduates employed and was 45 minutes away from the main campus in east Orlando. Now, one in seven EA Tiburon employees are graduates of UCF\u2019s graduate video game program<\/a> and EA will only be a two-minute walk to UCF Downtown and our integrated Nicholson School of Communication and Media.\u201d<\/p>\n

The California-based EA \u2014 which currently develops and publishes Madden NFL, NBA Live, The Sims, Medal of Honor<\/em> and other game franchises \u2014 expects to move its Maitland office to the village as soon as 2021.<\/p>\n

Dyer said EA is the \u201cperfect partner\u201d to join UCF Downtown as the $1.5 billion Creative Village boosts the city\u2019s drive to become a digital media hub.<\/p>\n

Creating an Educational Pipeline for Careers<\/h2>\n

The move will not be the first time a partnership between EA and UCF has benefited students, but it will bolster the cradle-to-career pipeline the downtown campus was built to create.<\/p>\n

FIEA \u2014 whose video game graduate program ranks No. 5 in the world<\/a> \u2014 was founded in 2004 through a partnership between UCF, the State of Florida, the City of Orlando and Electronic Arts when the Florida Legislature provided $4.2 million in funding. EA helped develop the initial program and curriculum to help FIEA prepare artists, programmers and producers develop the tools and skills necessary to succeed in the gaming industry. EA executives also mentor and provide feedback to students, and the company has used FIEA\u2019s motion capture studio and sound stage \u2014 one of the largest on the east coast \u2014 to produce video games. As a result of this collaboration, more than 100 UCF graduates and 13 UCF interns currently work in EA Tiburon\u2019s office and dozens more FIEA graduates at other EA studios around the world.<\/p>\n

FIEA also boasts 675 graduates working at more than 200 entities in 38 states and countries, including Disney, Marvel, Cartoon Network, Microsoft, Sony, Lockheed Martin, Iron Galaxy Orlando, and others.<\/p>\n

This career funnel will only expand with the relocation of EA and the recent addition of UCF programs to the downtown core. As part of the move earlier this summer, UCF established the Games and Interactive Media department, offering classes for both its undergraduate and graduate digital media programs in the same building as FIEA. The undergraduate game design program, which currently has 773 students enrolled, is ranked No. 13 in the world, according to The Princeton Review and PC Gamer<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that our games and interactive media students and faculty will be able to work and grow beside EA is, quite literally, game-changing\u201d said Jeff Moore, dean of the UCF College of Arts and Humanities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will ensure that our students are being trained to meet and exceed the growing needs of the industry, via access to internships, jobs and networking, and it poises UCF to be the leader in graduate and undergraduate interactive media education<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
