Watt Hall is the headquarters of the USC School of Architecture and the USC Roski School of Art and Design, at 850 Bloom Walk in Los Angeles. Edward Killingsworth, a USC alumnus, designed it, and it was built in 1974. With Harris Hall it forms a complex at the southern end of the University Park campus, next to the USC Fisher Museum of Art.
The two halls cover more than 50,000 square feet (4,645 square meters). Watt Hall contains design studios, classrooms and galleries, plus extensive woodshop and fabrication facilities. Wikipedia describes its architecture library as one of the best regional ones.
An architecture curriculum began at USC in 1914, and a separate School of Architecture was organized in 1925, generally seen as its founding year.
