Building 94, Service School Command's Technical Training Center, constructed in 1969.

Building 94, located between Truxton and Rosecrans Street, cost $4.6 million to construct, had 170 classrooms and -- here’s an unusual twist -- no windows. Having no windows eliminated the noise and distractions of outside activities. It was designed to enhance the teaching-learning process for Sailors and also made teaching classified or sensitive material more secure. The building had air conditioning and closed-circuit televisions in every classroom.

The Technical Training Building opened in March, 1969 and eventually became home to Basic Electricity and Electronics; Electrician’s Mate "A" school; Interior Communications "A" school; code practice rooms for Radioman "A" school; Storekeeper and Disbursing "A" school; Commissary and Stewards "B"; Teletype Maintenance "C" and Maintenance and Material Management "C" schools.

Today this building is now home to the controversial megachurch The Rock Church. The western half of this building was demolished to construct the auditorium, while the rest of the building was gutted, and given a new skin.

  • I graduated from the very first Electrician's Mate "A" class to be instructed in this building in June of 1969. It was brand new at the time, and I remember it had no windows; you couldn't see out of this building. There was two breezeways on either end of the building, one was smoking, the other was non-smoking. You could drink a coke there. I moved back to my hometown of San Diego a few years ago, and happened to drive by....The Rock Church had bought the property, and were in the process of demolishing/remodeling it. Still can't believe a damn megachurch of all things got this building.
