Campus
The 225-acre (91 ha) 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 complex, Gilbert Sports and Fitness Center, nearly doubled the size of the developed campus with its completion in 2006. Along with the new athletics center there is Samuelson Aquatic Center and an adjacent community pool. Two new residence halls – Grace Hall and Trinity Hall – were opened on the southwest side of campus.
The former chicken coops of the Pederson Ranch were converted into classrooms by Jefferson A. Elmendorf, the same architect who designed The Centrum and other campus buildings. Elmendorf worked with Dr. Dahl in planning the campus. Elmendorf's architecture is quite distinctive and may be seen throughout Ventura and Los Angeles counties.
A new academic building, Swenson Center for the Social and Behavioral Sciences opened in Fall 2010. This new facility, CLU's first LEED Certified building,is located where the tennis courts were situated on the South side of campus. A new Poulson Tennis Center opened on the North side of campus in 2008.
