Building History

The Los Angeles architectural firm of Austin, Field and Fry, Architects of Los Angeles, CA, presented a plan for an Humanities Building at UCLA that shared much in common with the realized Dickson Hall, designed in 1965 by William L. Pereira and Associates. At the this time, Pereira's firm was beginning work on the Central Library (later named Geisel Library) at the University of California, San Diego; Pereira had a very close relationship with the Regents of the University of California in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s;

Alteration

The UCLA Arts Building was renovated and seismically upgraded by Richard Meier and Partners, 2002-2004 and reopened as the Broad Art Center.
