Students Outside the Physical Science Building (Now Thornton Hall), 1975

About This Item

Students walk past the Physical Science Building—renamed Thornton Hall in later years—during a typical day on campus in 1975. The scene captures the steady flow of foot traffic between classes, with groups and individuals moving along the sloped walkway that connects the sciences complex to the rest of campus. The building’s concrete façade and elevated terrace reflect the architectural style of the period, while students’ clothing and materials evoke the everyday rhythm of academic life at San Francisco State during the mid-1970s.
