Shovels, hats and an architectural model patiently await the groundbreaking ceremony for the Science Library at UCI. The James Stirling and Michael Wilford designed building opened in 1994. In April 2010, the Science Library was renamed the Francisco J. Ayala Science Library in recognition of the world-renowned UCI evolutionary biologist’s considerable scientific achievements and contributions to the campus.
