Description
The beach-side location allows for sea water to be pumped into the building for aquatic experiments, some of which is also distributed to other buildings on campus. Prior to construction of the building, it was noted in the specifications the detrimental effects of sea water on most building materials, and that care should be taken to mitigate the risk of sea water corrosion on the structure. This site was originally used as the water and sewage filtration plant for the Marine Air Base.
Wallace Arendt (1917-1975), Glen Mosher (1914-2013?), and Robert Grant (1928-2017) were partners in an architecture firm in Santa Barbara from the mid-1950s until the mid-1970s. They designed many residences in Hope Ranch, Goleta, and Santa Barbara, as well as civic buildings, schools, and commercial buildings. At UCSB, they designed the Marine Science Lab (1964), Music II (1969), UCen I (1966), Library IV (1977), and University House (1964). In the 1980s, the firm changed its name to Grant, Pederson, Phillips and designed the Recreation Center; in the 1990s, the name changed again to Phillips Metsch Sweeney Moore Architects (PMSM) and designed the Psychology East building.
