In the 2006 spring semester (March 31), the Council of the EKA approved the decision to start construction of a new building for the Estonian Academy of Arts, at the historical location of Tartu Maantee 1. In 2013, however, the Council decided for another location: the former building of the Suva stockings factory, at the corner of Kotzebue tänav and Põhja puiestee in the subdistrict of Kalamaja.[3][4] During the renovation of the building the Academy was accommodated in the former Estonian Knighthood House on Toompea. In 2018 it moved to its new premises.
