BOLD MOVES

On November 15, CCA starts building the centerpiece of its innovative campus expansion, designed by Studio Gang and set for completion in 2024.

CCA unifies its programs in San Francisco and resumes full, in-person learning for the fall 2022 semester, after more than a year of remote and hybrid instruction.

The new on-campus residence, Founders Hall, partially opens at 188 Hooper Street, welcoming first- and second-year students. With Founders Hall and Blattner Hall, CCA can now house more than 700 students.

Blattner Hall opens at 75 Arkansas Street near CCA’s San Francisco campus. Made in partnership with longtime trustee Simon Blattner, this new building accommodates more than 200 continuing, transfer, and graduate students in apartment-style campus housing.

CCA announces plans to expand its campus in San Francisco and selects Studio Gang to lead the design of the new campus.

Macky Hall is placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Macky Hall and other historic buildings will be preserved, leaving a lasting legacy in Oakland.

Founder Frederick H. Meyer purchases the

James estate in Oakland and leads a crew of students, faculty, and alumni that transform the rundown estate into a campus.

The college purchases a 2.5-acre vacant lot from Greyhound Lines, Inc. in San Francisco—the future site of its campus expansion.

Having outgrown its original location at The Studio Building in Berkeley, the school moves to a new home at 2130 Center Street in Berkeley.

The college celebrates the opening of the San Francisco campus, formerly a Greyhound bus depot, giving a permanent home to the college’s Architecture, Design, and Humanities and Sciences programs.
