Why in San Diego?

Headquarters and facilities for our students will be located at Liberty Station (former San Diego Naval Training Center) in the Civic, Arts & Cultural Center under the direction of the NTC Foundation. A specific Historic Building has already been assigned and initial renovation funds have been allocated from the City of San Diego. Other rational for this location follows:

• Worldwide hub of undersea technology
  
• Available expertise and facilities
  
• Local collaborative partners such as
  o U.S. Navy
  o Scripps Institution of Oceanography
  o Birch Aquarium at Scripps
  o Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute
  o SeaWorld
  o San Diego Oceans Foundation
  o Sea Camp San Diego
  o Maritime Museum of San Diego
  o San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum
  o Aquatic Adventures Science Education Foundation
  o Many local marine technology companies
• Geographical ideal location
