Historical Background
Some of the photos in this collection were donated by Robert Virscik, who was a construction supervisor for several of the
early buildings at UCI. The photographs of the original Computer Science and Engineering Building were donated by the Assistant
Dean Ron Hubbard shortly before the building was due to be demolished and replaced. This building was designed by Frank Gehry,
a world-renown architect known for structures such as the Walt Disney Concern Hall. The rest of the collection was accrued
from other unidentified, undated sources.
