Description

A perspective view of the Cal Poly, SLO campus in 1959 with coordinating index including names of buildings. The note on the map reads: 'This perspective map of the Cal Poly campus at San Luis Obispo shows the principal area with respect to instructional facilities - buildings in existence, those under construction, and some that are funded for the near future. The campus comprises about 3,000 acres, including land for agricultural use. The Cal Poly building program is projected for a 10,000 enrollment in 1970 - double that of 1958-1959. As one of California's State Colleges, Cal Poly's instructional program constitutes three divisions - Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering. The college is one of the few resident campuses in the State system. It is located about half way between the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Other campuses of Cal Poly are located at San Dimas and Pomona.'
