🚨In February 1931, the college moved into its new campus on Montezuma Mesa: seven Mission/Spanish-Revival buildings around what’s now the Main Quad. ļæ¼ • The move to the mesa campus was funded in part by New Deal / WPA federal programs during the Great Depression. ļæ¼ • In 1935 the California Legislature dropped ā€œTeachersā€ from the name, so San Diego State Teachers College became San Diego State College. ļæ¼ •The iconic building Hepner Hall was completed in 1931 and remains a symbolic image of the campus. ļæ¼ • The athletic stadium Aztec Bowl, constructed during this era (WPA-era) on campus, became home to SDSC’s football team. ļæ¼ • During the 1936 football season the Aztecs went 6-1-1 and were conference champions. ļæ¼ • The architectural style of the campus during the 1930s was distinctly Mission/Spanish Revival, contributing to the cohesive historic district feel on Mesa. #sandiegostate #sdsu #ucsd #sandiegoca #discoversandiego
