Westmont College Santa Barbara California

Although it was originally started up in central Los Angeles in 1937, interdenominational liberal arts school Westmont College is now to be found on a 111 acre campus in suburban Santa Barbara, where it has resided since 1945. Upon its relocation, the evangelical college took over the splendid Mediterranean style main house on the former estate. This building was conceived by Pasadena architect Reginald Davis Johnson and was constructed in 1929. Now named Kerrwood Hall, the facility contains a lounge and administration offices. Other more modern and sustainably designed but no less attractive architecture is also present on campus which features various beautiful lawns and green areas as well. A highlight is Davis Formal Garden, where Westmont s undergraduate student body can relax next to water fountains in the company of extraordinary flowers.
