Birmingham Southern College is to be the Site of New Coast Guard Training Center

Posted on March 4, 2026 by Chuck Hill

Apparently the 192 acre campus of Birmingham Southern College has been purchased by the Coast Guard as the site of the new training center.

Thanks to Laura for bringing this to my attention.

Looks like they had 900 some students when it was operating, with student housing for about 800 students if my math is correct and at 192 acres it is a scenic campus

  192 acres is almost three times the size of Coast Guard Island (67 acres) Alameda, CA.
