Orange Coast College – W. Bradley Avery Professional Mariner Training Center

Connecting Land and Sea

The Professional Mariner Training Center at Orange Coast College extends the campus toward the water, linking academic instruction with hands-on maritime training. Positioned across Pacific Coast Highway from the existing Sailing Center, the facility is defined by a new pedestrian bridge that safely connects the two, transforming a physical barrier into a seamless extension of campus.

From Classroom to Water

The 10,200 SF facility is organized to support focused instruction, with classrooms, a computer lab, and support spaces elevated above on-grade parking. Designed for students preparing for careers on the water, the building provides a direct relationship between learning environments and the adjacent harbor, reinforcing the connection between theory and practice.
