Our Campus

Our five-acre main campus is located in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles, just minutes from LAX airport and 1.5 miles from the beach. Designed by renowned modernist architect Eliot Noyes, its distinctive windows resemble a computer punch card. Now named Kathleen Holser Ahmanson Hall, our campus has grown to include the Bronya and Andy Galef Center for Fine Arts, a 230-bed residence hall, cafeteria, several event spaces, student lounge and academic wing, confirming our community as a cultural destination and an around-the-clock campus.
