Campus and Facilities
Pacific Union College's main campus is on about 150 acres (0.61 km2) of the college's 1,900 acres (7.7 km2) property. The school has over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails on the remaining property. PUC's campus is located 70 miles (110 km) north of San Francisco, 60 miles (85 km) from the Pacific Ocean, and 180 miles (290 km) southwest of the skiing resorts in Truckee and Lake Tahoe. The college is located in Angwin, on Howell Mountain above the Napa Valley.
During the summer of 2011, PUC refurbished both the interior and exterior of the Nelson Memorial Library at a cost of over a million dollars. The previous winter, Pacific Union College renovated the Dining Commons, a major center of student life, in a "rustic yet contemporary aesthetic," Napa Valley style. The onsite restaurant at PUC serves exclusively vegetarian and vegan menu items in a socially responsible manner.
Pacific Union College also operates non-traditional learning programs on off-site locations including the Yuba Community College in Clearlake, California, Travis Air Force Base and in the City of Napa.
