Hugh Hefner is [giving $2 million](http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117976032.html?categoryid=13&cs=1) to the USC School of Cinematic Arts, funding an exhibition area in the [new complex](http://cinema.usc.edu/facilities/complex.cfm) currently under construction, along with an archive. I’m on the alumni board for the school, so I’ve had a chance to see a lot of the plans for much-improved facility, and take a hard-hat tour.
Between you and me, I’m sick with jealousy for the students who get the new building. Not only is it finally big enough, but it manages to capture the feeling of a studio lot, with all the California Mediterranean details and great attention to the hidden infrastructure — physical and digital.
