Windward Circle Development, Venice (California)
The Windward Circle Development in Venice (California) was completed in 1989. It includes three buildings designed by Steven Ehrlich: the Ace Market Place, the Windward Circle Arts Building, located on the former site of the Antlers Hotel, and the "Race Through the Clouds" Building, which includes design elements of the historic roller coaster that was located on the site until its demolition in 1923.

World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: campus pool
A view of the campus pool as it appeared before the Marine base was given to the University of California. The pool was used by the Marines to practice water landings and emergency parachute procedures; the jumping platform in the center of the photograph was converted to diving boards for the University. The old gym (Red Barn, Building 479) is in the background. After being converted to a co-educational facility, the gym was used for recreational activities for many years. The building is currently being used as overflow office space, and the original basketball court floor can still be seen in some of the rooms.

World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: Goleta Slough
A view looking west from near the current site of the East Entrance to the campus. This area looks fairly similar today, despite plans in the past to turn the coastal wetland into a recreational lake with a harbor, and other plans to infill the area with earth and extend highway 217 all along the edge of the mesa, out to Storke road. This location is now known as the Goleta Slough State Marine Conservation Area.
World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: looking north towards the mountains
A photograph of the campus as it appeared after the Marines left, but before much construction had taken place. The Marine water tower is seen in the distance, and a car is parked on the road.
World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: view of barracks
A view of the World War II barracks, as they existed when the University developed the Goleta mesa site. Barracks like these were turned into classrooms, laboratories, and offices. This photograph appears to have been taken in the current area of South Hall; the buildings pictured would have housed military science department and additional physical education spaces, since the gymnasium would have been located immediately to the west of the row of trees. Currently, buildings of this type house the offices of Arts & Lectures, a portion of El Centro, the Ergo lab, and other offices.
World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: view of building 431
A photograph of the former Marine Base, looking southeast towards the ocean. The building in the foreground is possibly Building 431, which was torn down and eventually the 1977 addition to the library was built on this spot. Building 431 was a mess hall and "senior non-commissioned officer's club." This Marine Base building had been re-purposed into education and psychology classrooms for the first few years of the university.
World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: view of building 434
A photograph of building 434, the Associated Students Annex, directly across the Pardall bike path from Storke Tower. This building was the recreation building during the time of the Marine Base, it was later converted into a Student Union in the 1950s. The Marine Base auditorium was located across the road from building 434; until Campbell Hall was built in 1962, the auditorium was the largest venue on campus, with a capacity of 750 people.
World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: view of buildings
A photograph of de-commissioned buildings on the former Marine base, possibly former officers' quarters.. Some of this type of building are still being used today for office space, including housing the ROTC and Military Science department. During the early years of the campus, these buildings were used as dormitories for male students until new residence halls were built.
World War II Marine base and future site of the UC Santa Barbara campus: view of gymnasium and pool
A photograph of the Marine base gymnasium building, with attached pool. This photograph also shows the lack of proper landscaping and grounds maintenance which plagued the early campus planners. Lack of topsoil (which the Marines had scraped off to fill the slough for the airport) revealed a sandy soil, which blew sand throughout the new campus. The building is currently used for office space, storage, art studios, and as shower facilities for the pool, which is used for water polo matches and community events.

World War II Marine base and future site of UC Santa Barbara: aerial view of site and coastline
An aerial view of the Goleta mesa campus site, with Campus Point in the foreground and the Santa Barbara Airport in the distance. World War II era buildings can be seen both inside and outside of the line of eucalyptus trees used as a windbreak. This photograph was taken before any buildings were constructed for the University, and clearly shows the layout of the Marine Buildings. The two-story buildings within the eucalyptus treeline were converted into classrooms and offices for the University; the long row of one-story buildings closer to the airport were originally enlisted men's barracks and became the residence halls for the collegiate men.
