Hope International University

Hope International University's main campus is located in North Orange County, in the city of Fullerton, California. The university's library, student center, gymnasium, student dining facilities, bookstore, on-campus housing, and main administrative offices are located on the Fullerton campus, as are the classrooms, faculty offices, and administrative offices.

The majority of the buildings on the main campus were built by California State University, Fullerton. There originally was a student center, movie theater (the Titan Theater), and dormitories built by the CSU Foundation in the late 1960s.[10] These are some of few remaining examples of pure Googie-style architecture in southern California, considered by some to be the largest collection of Googie modernist architecture remaining in the world.[11] The buildings were designed by Eldon Davis, who, along with partner Louis Armet, founded one of the most renowned architectural firms in Los Angeles history. Armet & Davis essentially defined the Googie architecture genre in the post-war period.[12]

The Hope Counseling Center, providing professional counseling services to the campus and the community is also operated from this location.

The NCC campus in Papillion, NE, spanned 80+ acres of land with 60,000 square feet of classrooms, dorm suites, student center, cafeteria, and faculty/staff offices. There were also two four-plex apartment buildings for married students. The Ministry Equipping Center (MEC) had a 500-seat auditorium as well as classrooms, practice rooms, voice/audio editing suites, a preaching lab, and a coffee bar. It was formed from a merger with Nebraska Christian College, which had existed since 1945. NCC additionally operated an athletics program separate from HIU. It was announced in April 2020 that HIU would be shutting down the Nebraska Christian College campus following the conclusion of the 2020 academic year.[13]
