Is There Any Construction Work Needed Apart from a Hotel/Conference Center?

A year ago, California Watch published a listing of buildings in the UC system with poor or very poor seismic ratings. Below is a subset from that listing of just the UCLA buildings. Scroll below the list for a link to information on each building. If someone at UCLA is looking for construction work to undertake, apart from a new hotel/conference center, here is a possible list:

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences – Jules Stein Eye Institute

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences – Marion Davies Children’s Center

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences – Neuropsychiatric Institute (low-rise)

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences – Outpatient Wing

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences – Parking Structure E

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences – School of Public Health

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences courtyards

UCLA: Center for Health Sciences Medical Center – South Tower

UCLA: Clark Library

UCLA: Clark Library Gatehouse

UCLA: Darling Biomedical Library

UCLA: Faculty Weyburn Apartments

UCLA: Geffen School of Medicine East, Vivarium

UCLA: Geffen School of Medicine West

UCLA: Mira Hershey Hall (1931 Building)

UCLA: Parking Structure 8

UCLA: Reed Neurological Research Center Bridge

UCLA: Santa Monica Medical Center – West Hospital Tower

UCLA: Strathmore Bridge

UCLA: University Extension (LeConte)

Click on the particular building for rating and information on seismic deficiencies. If there have been structural upgrades in the past year, they won’t be reflected. (There is a lot of construction currently going on in the health sciences area which may entail upgrades.) You can find a list of Southern California faults, some of which carry such local names as Malibu, Santa Monica, San Fernando, Palos Verdes, Newport-Inglewood, etc., at http://www.data.scec.org/fault_index/alphadex.html
