UCI Layout & Schools.
The center of UC Irvine is the circular Aldrich Park, which was modeled after Frederick Olmsted’s Central Park in NY. The UC Irvine park features bike paths, pedestrian walkways and a garden in the center. Everything radiates out from the UCI central park, with undergraduate buildings closest to the park and graduate buildings built out from there. Main schools and programs at UC Irvine include the College of Medicine and UCI Medical Center and Master of Arts in creative writing (noted graduates include Pulitzer Prize winning author Richard Ford and Michael Chabon).
