The USC School of Social Work is on the move – in more
ways than one. Not only did the school break admissions
records for the sixth year in a row, it has moved to yet
another zip code to accommodate the rapidly growing
number of students, faculty and administrative staff.
Nearly 180 MSW students are movin’ on up to a deluxe
suite in the sky, where they began attending classes this
semester in the school’s new space located in the heart of
a revitalized and spruced up downtown Los Angeles. City
Center, which is housed in one of two signature towers on
Olive and Hill Streets, is the school’s third satellite center,
joining the Orange County Center and Skirball Cultural
Center. The new downtown digs offer breathtaking city
views, a 500-seat auditorium, retail shops, a food court
and health club. Next year, it will be home to one of the
first social work experiential laboratories in the country.
