Touro University - California is located on historical Mare Island in the San Pablo Bay, north of San Francisco just minutes from the Sonoma-Napa wine country. The 44 acre campus provides a comprehensive medical library, state of the art anatomy laboratory, research and classroom suites, a student health clinic, dining facilities and student housing.

As you make your way to the campus using the directions from various beginning points listed here, you will find that Mare Island, our home within the City of Vallejo, is experiencing the growing pains of significant development. Please expect some detours and construction barriers on your visit.

Once on Mare Island the best way for you to find the campus is to follow the signs to the Welcome Center maintained by Lennar, the developer for Mare Island. There is good signage to the Welcome Center from both entries to the Island (from Tennessee Street and from Highway 37). The signs have a dark blue background. As you approach the Welcome Center you will find additional signage in the same blue color scheme that will list ‘Touro’ as one of the destinations. These signs will direct you to detours around construction projects that will occur in the coming months. You'll soon be coming to the main entrance to the campus. Follow the signs to the Administration and Faculty Building I, .which houses the Admissions Department and the main reception desk for the campus. This building is across the street from the Library. The main entrance and reception desk for the building is on the side away from the Library in the middle of the building. Welcome to Touro University – California!
