Title	Oviatt Library during reconstruction, circa 1997
Description	Oviatt Library during the reconstruction of the east wing at California State University, Northridge, circa 1997. At 4:31 AM on Monday January 17, 1994, the San Fernando Valley was hit with a massive earthquake registering 6.7 on the Richter scale. Dubbed the Northridge Earthquake because its epicenter was around Wilbur Avenue and Arminta Street in Northridge, this earthquake and subsequent aftershocks, caused extensive damage to the Northridge and Sherman Oaks areas. Initially, the wings of the library were to be saved and renovated, but subsequent aftershocks caused irreparable damage and they had to be razed and rebuilt. Color digital photograph.
