Our History
Cerro Coso – Mammoth and the South Gateway Student Apartments have an amazing history. The Mammoth Lakes Foundation, which owns and operates the South Gateway Student Apartments, was created in 1989 by the founder of Mammoth Mountain, Dave McCoy, and a few of his friends. The goal was to be the catalyst in bringing higher education and the arts to the Eastern Sierra. At the time, local high school graduates and residents had few choices when it came to higher education.
Higher education in Mammoth started very humbly with a couple of instructors, a handful of students, and a rented space in the Rite Aid Shopping Center. Cerro Coso Community College had been offering classes wherever they could find space, usually at the high school or in empty conference rooms.
In 1992, the Foundation influenced the annexation of Inyo and Mono Counties into the Kern Community College District, making the area eligible for state funding of college facilities. In 1996, Edison Hall was built in the South Gateway section of Mammoth Lakes as a visible start to campus development. In 1998, the Foundation secured funding for the Dave & Roma McCoy Learning Center, which opened to students in 2003. In 1999, the Foundation completed a seven-year land exchange with U.S. Forest Service and donated land for the college. And in 2008, the 35-unit South Gateway Student Apartments opened.
