Costa Mesa’s West Coast University (WCU), one of the largest educators of nurses in California, has opened a new campus in North Hollywood. The school’s continued growth prompted the move from its former location east of downtown Los Angeles.
The new campus, housed in the former J. C. Penny building, on Victory Boulevard, recently welcomed more than 600 students, most of whom are pursuing a degree in nursing. The North Hollywood location has more than a dozen new laboratories and classrooms, equipped with individual computers and myriad components necessary to achieve comprehensive educational experience.
“At West Coast University, we recognize and honor our responsibility to equip our students with impeccable skills and cultivate the compassionate mindset that will enable them to be solid members of the healthcare community,” says Dr. Barry T. Ryan, WCU president and CEO. “We focus on designing campuses that are appealing to the students and technically advanced so our students enjoy their educational experience and graduate ready to serve the community.”
The vibe of the North Hollywood campus was developed to cultivate a Caribbean-meets-Southern California beach environment with bamboo accents, including an academic mall with a raised pier.
