1927
Construction Begins on Westwood campus
After breaking ground in 1926, construction of Westwood campus' inaugural structures begins in May the following year. The Arroyo Bridge was completed first, though its arches, modeled after Roman aqueducts, are hidden from view today. Construction on Royce Hall, Powell Library, the Physics Building (Haines Hall), and the Chemistry Building (Kaplan Hall) are also started in 1927 and completed in 1929.
