Watt Pledges Funds to USC

Raymond A. Watt, chairman and chief executive of home builder Watt Industries, has pledged $1 million for the addition of a third floor to USC’s Watt Hall, the main facility for the university’s School of Architecture.

The new floor will serve as the graduate studies center. Construction is expected to begin in spring, 1988, and be completed later that year.

Watt was the chief donor for the existing structure, which was completed in 1974.
