A new east entrance to UC Santa Barbara is one of many new building projects under way to improve the campus’s physical environment
and to enhance teaching and research.
Building
Premier
Facilities
An unprecedented era of new
construction to build premier
facilities equal to the growing
reputation of UC Santa
Barbara as a leading research university is
under way. As Chancellor Henry T. Yang
has said, “A world-class university must
have a physical presence to match.”
A dynamic new east entrance to
UCSB with a gateway arch named for
benefactors Jeff Henley ’66, and his
wife, Judy, featuring a traffic circle,
new lighting, and landscaping, all made
possible by campaign donations is in
progress. Additional project benefactors
are Robert and Trish Duggan, Marvel
Kirby ’51, Fredric E. Steck Jr. ’67, and an
anonymous donor.
Construction has also begun on the
privately funded Carsey-Wolf Center for
Film, Television, and New Media, part
of a state-funded academic building
complex for the College of Letters and
Science and the Gevirtz Graduate School
of Education that will house the newly
established Eli and Edythe L. Broad
Center for Asperger Research and the
enhanced Koegel Autism Research and
Training Center.
The Broad Center will be the
first research and training facility in
the country devoted to developing
treatments and ultimately finding a
cure for individuals with Asperger’s
Syndrome, a prevalent form of highfunctioning
autism characterized by
difficulties with social communication.
In addition, the Mosher Alumni
House recently opened to welcome
returning graduates and visitors to UC
Santa Barbara. More than $11.8 million
already has been raised for the $12.5
million building project.
