Hope International University
Hope International University is a private Christian university in Fullerton. Its Fullerton campus sits adjacent to California State University, Fullerton, with which it has contract programs. As Pacific Bible Seminary, the school was founded in 1928. The school purchased property for a campus in Long Beach in 1936 after which it changed its name to Pacific Christian College. The college outgrew the Long Beach campus and relocated to Fullerton in 1973, becoming Hope International University in 1997. The majority of the buildings on the main campus were built by CSUF. They were designed by Eldon Davis, who, along with partner Louis Armet, essentially defined the Googie architecture genre. The buildings of Hope International University are considered by some to be the largest collection of Googie modernist architecture remaining in the world.
