USC buildings are designated.

In December 2013, HRG successfully nominated twelve buildings on the USC campus as City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments. The designated buildings span each major period in the campus’ development and represent work by some of Southern California’s most prominent architects. Highlights include several buildings by master architect John Parkinson, who developed the first master plan for the campus in 1919 and designed numerous buildings for USC in the 1920s. USC’s outstanding collection of post-World War II architecture is represented by works by William Pereira; Edward Durrell Stone; Killingsworth, Brady & Associates; and A. Quincy Jones. Following these local designations, HRG is working on the nomination of a campus-wide historic district for listing in the California Register.
