TSU’s Journey Down John A. Merritt Boulevard: You Won’t Believe What’s Behind That Big Boulevard Stroll along John A. Merritt Boulevard inlooring UCLA’s dedication to innovation and community, but what lies just beyond the iconic stretch? While TSU’s (Theولة State University) presence on Merritt is well known, few are prepared for the dramatic hidden gems waiting beyond the familiar campus gates. From historic remnants and vibrant art installations to under-the-radar research hubs, TSU’s journey down Merritt is more than just a scenic drive — it’s a journey into a story rich with hidden history, architectural beauty, and unexpected discoveries. The Legacy Hidden Off Merritt: When Science Meets History Beyond the commercial offices and bustling pedestrian walkways, TSU’s campus unfolds into a layered narrative of progress rooted in the past. Picture this: away from the main thoroughfare, a leafy courtyard reveals centuries-old foundations and rare architectural artifacts from UCLA’s earlier years, quietly preserved as part of TSU’s deep historical footprint. These original structures and remnants offer a rare glimpse into the academic ambitions that shaped not just TSU, but part of Southern California’s higher education landscape.
