Armstrong College (originally the California School for Private Secretaries, also known as Armstrong Business College)[1] is a defunct college that was active for 70 years and historical building in Berkeley, California. The former school building is at 2210 Harold Way and is a listed Berkeley Landmark (no. 187) by the City of Berkeley since September 6, 1994.[2]

History

The college was founded in 1918 by J. Evan Armstrong of the University of California[3][4] and he served as the school's president.[2] The first location of the school was a small building on Shattuck Avenue.[1] In 1923, the name changed to Armstrong College,[2] and the campus relocated. Walter Ratcliff was an architect for its school buildings in 1923, for the second location.[1][5]

A plaque commemorates the school's history.[2] Alumni include Jovy Marcelo and Annie Wu.

Closure

For about 10 years it served as a training facility for the University of California, Berkeley. It was then acquired in 2009 by the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center, and renamed Dharma College.[2]
