Bridges are essential to the life of the Bay Area. At a time when Bay Area bridges are being analyzed and new structures are being planned, Bridging the Bay: Bridging the Campus features rare historical documents, drawings, photographs, maps, publications, and artifacts showcasing existing bridges in the Bay Area. It also includes documents detailing Bay Area bridge projects that were never built, including visionary designs by Bernard Maybeck and Frank Lloyd Wright.
