Another really cool website that I stumbled across I think is this one here: https://planning.lacity.org/eir/USC/Exhibits/_Exhibit_1_Historic%20Context.pdf if for no reason than because kinda cool to see the masterplans evolve over the years. Manhattia (talk) 05:04, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Some things I think would be cool to add: 1) a comprehensive list of buildings and a brief description. While it's pretty impractical to have every single one of the bajillion something buildings logged here, it would be nice ot have the notable ones profiled. Here's a list of buildings: https://classes.usc.edu/building-directory/ 2) Sections dedicated to the auxiliary campuses, such as the health center, children's hospital, Catalina Island, etc. They can be brief, but I think it's significant to add 3) Public transit connections. Speaks for itself, can be very brief. 4) Various campus initiatives of note. For instance, can talk about the sustainability and art initiatives. 5) A special section dedicated to the athletics facilities. Also pretty much speaks for itself. The distinction is especially important given that the big athletic facility, the Memorial Coliseum, is not technically on USC's campus, rather adjacent. It is owned by the City of Los Angeles.
If we can get all of these done, I think this article would be very complete. Manhattia (talk) 05:18, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Oh yeah, also, this paper on the architectural experimentation at USC would be cool to incorporate somehow, but that holds little priority at the moment. http://archives.getty.edu:30008/getty_images/digitalresources/edocs/diss_howell-ardila_deborah_2010.pdf Manhattia (talk) 05:20, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
