much like the school today, all of its classes were held in different buildings in downtown miami when the school opened, including the main building of mdc wolfson campus, as well as space at the christ fellowship church at 500 n.e. 1st avenue, where drawing classes were held on the top floor. the school's current main building (a former at&t communications department building) was first used for the 1990-1991 school year, as an electrical fire destroyed the school's original administration headquarters. the main building (the 5000 building) houses most of the high school academic classes there, as well as both the high school and college administration units, dance studios, theaters, and art studios. the mdc wolfson science building (the 2000 building, located at 300 ne 2nd avenue) houses the science facilities. all music classes are held across the street from the mdc wolfson building at the aptly named music building (the 4000 building, located at 401 ne 2nd avenue; also houses mdc's literary center).
