The new Vista Community College Permanent Campus building is a self-contained college campus located in Berkeley, California. It was designed to encompass all offices and classrooms for the Vista Community College, which had previously made use of rental space throughout the area. Due to the size of the site, the campus was constructed directly next to the adjacent buildings on three sides.

An open atrium on all six floors, topped by a custom 4000 square foot skylight, provides natural light to the interior space.
