The campus was a former [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]] base. SF State has operated a marine lab on the site since 1978, when it began acquiring the land from the federal government for $1, under the condition that the site be used for education.<ref name="SFSU-2023c" /><ref name="Alexander-2023" />
