As you know, earlier this Fall we announced our partnership with Equity Community Builders and Emerald Fund (ECB/Emerald) to help us develop a vision for the reuse of the Oakland campus that celebrates our artistic legacy and benefits the greater community.

ECB/Emerald conducted a visioning process with our Oakland faculty leadership and CCA staff and then developed a range of options that were presented at our Board Meeting and our All Faculty and All Staff meetings in early Fall 2017. The current ideas are preliminary and include: honoring our artistic legacy with the inclusion of spaces dedicated to the artists and arts, preserving key historic campus buildings and landscape, pairing affordable artist housing with much-needed market-rate housing, and increasing public access to the site.

If you missed the All Faculty/All Staff meetings earlier this year and would like to learn more, CCA will be repeating its presentation for a public meeting for the Rockridge community tonight at Oakland Tech on November 27, 2017 from 7- 8:30 pm at the Oakland Technical High School Library (4350 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94611).

In the meantime, make sure you are following news about our campus unification by continuing to follow our unification updates, or checking out the new campus expansion page on our website.
