LPA Studies: CSU Fullerton - Irvine Campus Page 5

The CSU Fullerton, Irvine Campus project is a great example of repurposing an existing, vacant office
building for a new and vibrant use. The two-story office building was selected for its large, open floor
plan; access to daylight for classrooms; and existing infrastructure--including additional restrooms and
a large server room. Location was key to the success of this satellite campus. The current facility offers
adequate parking and convenient public transportation options that allow students to reach the campus
by car, bike, bus or train.

The Irvine Campus houses approximately 2,700 (primarily) upper-division, credential and graduate
students, and offers flexible classrooms with the latest technology, computer labs, a bookstore, library,
fitness center, and faculty/staff offices with support space.

Collaboration areas are located at key circulation points--providing easy access for students to small
and large meeting rooms, a student lounge, and casual cafes where students can meet over snacks and
coffee. Designers used bright, energizing accent colors to enhance the study rooms and casual cafes.
High-efficiency, indirect lighting, low-VOC paints and adhesives, and sustainable modular carpet tiles are
used throughout the facility.

Established in 1989, CSU Fullerton's branch campus was originally located in Mission Viejo. In 2002, the
Branch Campus moved to the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station and leased facilities there until
relocating in 2011 to its new campus designed by LPA.

We hope visitors will be impressed by how much thought and design went into developing

the campus. Our new location allows easier access for our students and provides the kind

of services and programs you would expect from Cal State Fullerton.
