The present Point Loma campus of approximately 90 acres was first established as an educational site by the Theosophical Society of America and has been occupied since by Balboa University, California Western College, and United States International University.
The early occupants of this campus erected a number of wooden buildings, several of which are still in use. Since 1953, 28 additional buildings have been constructed on the campus and are in daily use. Several campus building are of historical interest. Among these are:
