Future Plans
The Advanced Technology & Education Park (ATEP) is developing 68.37 acres on the former Marine Corps Air Station-Tustin as part of Tustin Legacy, a 1,606-acre development that includes regional parks, housing, public schools, commercial business, a million-square-foot mall, a research park, conference center and hotels. Academic programming, site planning and demolition are under way and South Orange Community College District is actively pursuing public and private partners for the innovative development.

Long Range Academic Planning
The determination of programs at ATEP will be guided by ongoing research and strategic planning at Saddleback College and Irvine Valley College. The following academic planning documents have been approved by the South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees.

Demolition Plans

Phase One Demolition

Phase one will begin as early as December 2010 with a projected duration of 120 days.

Representatives from U.S. Demolition, Inc., H2 Environmental Consulting Services, Inc., and Hudson Pacific Properties will be on site daily from 7 am to 3 pm, insuring full compliance and safety as these structures are removed.

None of the former marine buildings may be re-purposed for student use due to the excessive cost for renovating these buildings to meet the stringent guidelines of the Division of the State Architect.

The following map shows the buildings and structures identified for demolition. Concrete slabs and foundations will be left in place. Please note that the blimp hangars are not part of SOCCCD property and the helicopter hangar near Red Hill and Warner avenues is not part of Phase One demolition.
