Location &
Facilities
Campus
The 225-acre (0.91 km2) campus occupies
a gently sloping hillside amid the rolling
hills of Southern California. Currently,
the CLU campus is in the midst of an
expansion. A new athletics center, The
Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center, nearly
doubled the size of the developed campus
with its completion in 2006. Along with
the new athletics center is the new
outdoor, Olympic-sized swimming pool,
dubbed the Samuelson Aquatic Center.
A new dormitory, Grace Hall, was opened
on the southwest side of campus in 2005.
It is notable that
the former chicken coops mentioned above
were converted into classrooms by Jefferson
A. Elmendorf, the same architect who
designed The Centrum. Elmendorf worked
with Dr. Dahl in master planning the
campus. He started in the chicken coops
with a draftsman and eventually moved
into the administration building where
he eventually had five draftsmen/architects
working for him. Elmendorf's architecture
is quite distinctive and may be seen
throughout Ventura and Los Angeles counties.
A new academic building,
currently known as the Swenson Center
for Academic Excellence, is also in
the approval phase within the Thousand
Oaks city government. This new facility
will be built where the current tennis
courts are located on the South side
of campus, after they are transitioned
to the North Campus athletic area.
Thousand Oaks,
commonly referred to as "T.O."
by residents, is a city in southeastern
Ventura County, California, in the United
States. It was named after the many
oak trees that grace the area, and the
city seal is adorned with an oak. The
region has a mild, year-round Mediterranean
Climate or Dry-Summer Subtropical zone
climate, with warm, sunny, dry summers
and cool, rainy winters. Vegetation
is typical of Mediterranean environments,
with chaparral and grasses on the hillsides
and numerous western valley oaks.
