UCI Observatory
The UCI Observatory operated by the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine was demolished in 2014, to make way for new faculty housing. It was used for educational purposes in classes and served as a great venue for K-12 school field-trips and popular Visitor Nights at the Observatory. We are still identifying a site for a new Observatory, but our Astronomy Outreach Program still brings portable telescopes and hands-on activities to students.
