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.
