Roughly half of the university's students volunteer in community-service programs in neighborhoods around campus and throughout Los Angeles. These outreach programs, as well as previous administrations' commitment to remaining in South Los Angeles amid widespread calls to move the campus following the 1965 Watts Riots, are credited for the safety of the university during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. (That the university emerged from the riots completely unscathed is all the more remarkable in light of the complete destruction of several strip malls in the area, including one just across Vermont Avenue from the campus' western security fence.) The ZIP code for USC is 90089 and the surrounding University Park community is 90007.


The Leavey Library, completed in the mid-1990s, reflected a shift to designs closer to earlier, Romanesque architecture.
