Venues and Spaces

Our University spans two campuses in Los Angeles — the Chalon Campus and the Doheny Campus.

Chalon Campus

High above Los Angeles, in the Santa Monica Mountains, sits our historic Chalon Campus founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet almost a century ago. Featuring striking Spanish Colonial architecture, the setting is unparalleled in Southern California for its serenity and beauty. During the summer months, we offer housing options for groups that would like to stay on campus during their events.

Doheny Campus

Nestled into a private, verdant park-like setting just south of downtown Los Angeles, the Doheny Campus opened in 1962 and comprises a number of famed mansions and structures centered on Chester Place, one of the most famous West Adams Historic District addresses. Central to the campus is the Doheny Mansion, a circa-1900 landmark that has appeared in numerous motion pictures and television series throughout the years. Today, the Doheny Mansion is used for events, filming and administration offices. Housing options in and around the Doheny Campus are plentiful for groups wanting to remain on campus during their events.

Tour the Doheny Mansion

Experience the grandeur of early Los Angeles with a visit to the Doheny Mansion, located on the downtown campus of Mount Saint Mary's University at 10 Chester Place. Chester Place was an exclusive gated community of Victorian mansions in the early 1900s and home to oil baron Edward L. Doheny and his wife Carrie Estelle Doheny for almost 60 years. The tour lasts approximately 2-1/2 hours, and involves walking, standing and climbing a few stairs. We recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.
