Orange Coast College’s marine facilities in Newport Beach are now going by a new name, following approval by the Coast Community College District Board of Trustees earlier this month.
What was the Intercollegiate Rowing and Sailing Base and the Professional Mariner Training Center on West Coast Highway will now be collectively called the Orange Coast College Waterfront Campus.
Campus officials said expansion of the Costa Mesa college’s footprint in Newport Beach has been met positively by locals and the boating community at large.
As construction of Orange Coast College’s Professional Mariner Training Center nears completion, the Coast Community College District Board of Trustees approved a new name for the College’s Newport Beach facilities at an April 7 meeting: the Orange Coast College Waterfront Campus.
Previously named the Intercollegiate Rowing and Sailing Base, the new name will reflect a recent expansion of the Newport Harbor facility, including a $22 million maritime training center connected to the harbor-side facility by a skyway bridge over Pacific Coast Highway.
“The renaming of OCC’s Waterfront Campus reinforces the College’s reputation as being a destination college that reflects the highest standards in higher education,” says College President Angelica Suarez. “We are thrilled to provide a top-notch facility for our maritime students who are seeking training and education in order to either transfer to a four-year program, or earn a certificate to further their career goals.”
