The Orange Coast College Professional Mariner Training Center is a high-end education facility located on Mariners Mile waterfront in Newport beach. Serving over 1,500 students and adults annually, the two-story building includes a Radar Lab, classrooms, a conference room, student center, offices, and features a custom-designed Full Mission Bridge Simulator. This state-of-the-art training solution provides budding mariners the opportunity to train in a 360-degree environment replicating a ship’s navigational bridge. A pedestrian footbridge connects the new training center to OCC’s School of Sailing and Seamanship and is open to the public for better access to the water by crossing a major thoroughfare in Newport Beach.

MCH Acoustics provided sound isolation, mechanical noise control and interior finish treatment recommendations for classrooms, labs and simulation rooms. Project siting immediately adjacent to the busy Pacific Coast Highway required attention to the building facade's sound isolation.

MCH Media Systems Group designed network-based audio and video systems for future expansion and flexibility.
