Engineering Memory of the Month

The changing landscape

This beautiful hand-drawn map of the campus as it was in the fall quarter of 1966 inspired us to take a look at how the School of Engineering’s neighborhood has evolved over time. The next few frames show with consistent scale the western campus map as it was in this drawing, how it is today, and what it will look like after completion of the Science and Engineering Quad II project a few years from now. The hand drawn-map's perspective faces southeast from the medical school area. We've preserved that orientation on the following pages.

A brief clarification about some of the current buildings: Moore, McCullough, and the Clark Center (which are labeled) and the Ginzton Lab at Via Ortega and Via Pueblo (which is not) are not officially engineering buildings, but all of them house a significant number of school faculty and labs.

Gather your memorable photos from your school days and take them to the scanner. Then e-mail them to David Orenstein, manager, Communications and P.R.
