Immediate Support for Capital Projects
$1 Billion
While the main thrust of the Campaign is for people and programs, vital funds are also needed to provide the facilities and infrastructure necessary to support them on both our University Park campus and Health Sciences campus.
Among the new construction projects planned for USC’s University Park campus are:
- An interdisciplinary social sciences building, positioned to foster interactions among scholars from the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences; the USC Gould School of Law; the USC Marshall School of Business; the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development; and other USC schools;
- A research building to bring together the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the USC Dornsife College faculty working at the convergence of the molecular sciences and engineering; and,
- An interdisciplinary arts building to foster collaboration in theater, fine arts, and music.
Just north of USC’s University Park campus is University Village, where preliminary plans call for new academic and residential buildings and retail space that will serve both the university and the local community. Part of this area will be developed for much-needed housing for our Ph.D. students, graduate and professional school students, as well as international graduate students. This is an opportunity few urban universities have and is made even more attractive by the vibrant renewal of downtown Los Angeles and the Figueroa Arts and Education Corridor.
The USC Campus Planning Committee recently approved a master plan for the Health Sciences campus, emphasizing the importance of developing additional space for laboratories that support translational work as well as basic research. Priority projects include new research buildings and a new outpatient clinical facility, along with a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary instructional building to expand the size of our medical school classes and serve other schools on the campus as well.
On both campuses, we plan to add residential housing and amenities— ensuring that USC always provides a safe and inviting environment for our students, faculty, staff, medical residents, physicians, and patients and their families.
