Administrative History
Under the Vice Chancellor's direction, Resource Management & Planning (RMP) provides a variety of operational and support
services. This includes Planning, Design and Construction. Like all of the building projects on campus, the office was responsible
for the planning of the Central Library.
In 1965, William L. Pereira & Associates were invited to design a library for UC San Diego. By 1968, the project broke ground
and in 1970 the Central library opened. As the library grew, there was a need for additional space. Between 1989-1990, the
construction of additions began. These were designed by Gunnar Birkerts and Associates. The expansion was completed in 1993
and at the dedication ceremony, the Central Library was re-named the University Library. By 1995, the library was re-named
once more as the Geisel Library in recognition of a substantial gift from Audrey Geisel and in honor of the late Theodor Seuss
Geisel.
