Astorka

The Astorka Information, Education and Accommodation Centre

The centre was built between 1997-1998 on 3 Novobranská Street, in place of the Astoria Hotel which had been pulled down. Nowadays, it serves as the hall of residence for JAMU students with a capacity of 230 beds. Located on the 2nd floor, you can find a modern library with ample resources, specialising in the fields of music and theatre, a multimedia study hall and JAMU’s Editorial Centre. The JAMU library contains more than 100,000 books and around 50 specialized periodicals and journals including digital formats. The centre also includes a dance hall, fully-equipped classrooms of the Musical Acting and Audiovisual Production studios, a radio studio, soundproof rehearsal rooms for the students of the Music Faculty, and even a small restaurant. In summer, Astorka serves as a hostel for the public and visitors to Brno.
