College Library in Powell

The Powell Library is also one of the first four buildings of UCLA and opened in 1929.  Designed by George Kelham, the octagonal tower resembles that of the Church of St. Sepolcro in Bologna, Italy, and the main entrance is based on that of the Church of San Zenove in Verona, Italy.   The library houses 150,000 volumes, 200 computer stations, and 800 reading seats.

 

Westwood Village

Located at the entrance to UCLA campus, Westwood village offers an eclectic range of restaurants, shops and modern and Mediterranean-revival architecture.  Westwood is the first choice for gala movie premiers, as it features the largest concentration of movie theatres in one place, including the handsome old Fox Village Theatre (built in 1931) and the Bruin Theatre (built in 1937).
