Classes for HUC and its predecessor, College of Jewish Studies, were originally held at Wilshire Boulevard Temple.

In 1956, the College purchased a building on Appian Way in the Hollywood Hills. The facility had previously been a home for asthmatic Jewish girls. Because of the success of the program, the school quickly outgrew the space.

In 1970, the college purchased land near downtown Los Angeles, just north of the the University of Southern California campus. The new building was completed and dedicated in November of 1971.
