One of the few remaining orange groves in the San Fernando Valley resides on the campus. The large eucalyptus trees at the edge of the campus survived development attempts by campus designers.
Northridge earthquake
This campus was heavily damaged by the 1994 earthquake, including entire sections of the main library, art building, etc., but classes continued in alternative structures. The art courtyard survived.
CSUN sculpture
Travellers approaching the campus from the east,(via the San Diego (405) Freeway, for example) will see an abstract sculpture at the edge of the orange grove at the southeastern corner of the campus, which can be read from several directions as an acronym for the university.
Traditional festivities
Native Americans have used the campus to converge on for ceremonies, on a yearly basis.
