Committee for site Review
The committee for site was responsible for evaluating the fourteen original sites offered for Crafton Hills College. The committee reduced the fourteen sites down to four sites but one had a special appeal to it and that was that the land was offered up as a donation by Lester and Ruben Finkelstein through their charitable organization The Finkelstein foundation.

Architects
The architect company involved in the original design of Crafton Hills College included the services of Poper and Jones, architects from Long Beach who worked in partnership with an architect from San Bernardino named Jerome Armstrong. Because of Poper and Jones heavy involvement in the Development of Valley College the Board of Trustees decided that another architect would be needed choosing the John Porter Clark with firm Williams and Williams. Together these architects formed the Architects Collaborative in July 1966. The architects were each responsible for their own portion of the Design of the Campus.
