UCLA recently completed the acquisition of the Trust Building — an 11-story, 334,000-square-foot Art Deco high-rise near Pershing Square in L.A.’s Historic Core. The acquisition advances UCLA's mission of strengthening ties to the city and sends a clear message to the people of Los Angeles that UCLA is deeply invested in their future and that of the entire region, campus leaders said. The new property will allow UCLA to expand student access and foster greater engagement with Los Angeles’ diverse and dynamic communities.
