A fine example of a mid-century modern campus can be found in Cerritos, California. This is the Cerritos College. Unfortunately, the library has already been demolished. Apparently, it was designed with barrel vaulted ceilings and an incredible modern firepit inside.

Here's the Ambassador College Auditorium near Old Town Pasadena. It appears that the Auditorium will be saved, but unfortunately not the most unique Fine Arts and Science buildings that are sometimes referred to as the 'honeycomb' buildings. Building architecture like this is becoming quite rare.
