Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Human-Centered Computation Hall
Building a New Home for Computer Science at USC
Science and technology are playing a more vital role than ever in every aspect of life, and the USC Viterbi Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science is leading the way, helping to find solutions to the world’s most challenging problems.
Planned for a 2024 opening and located at University Park Campus, USC Viterbi’s 116,000 square-foot Dr. Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Human-Centered Computation Hall will integrate all of our computer science programs into a transformative seven-story structure that will:
- Advance USC Viterbi’s role in improving and benefiting society through areas including artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics
- Attract the best students and faculty by creating an environment in which they flourish
- Serve as a living laboratory that supports USC’s commitment to sustainability, health and well-being
