The carefully landscaped complex appears so collegiate that it's affectionately known as LSU—short for Levi Strauss University. Lawns complement the redbrick buildings, and gurgling fountains drown out the sounds of traffic, providing a perfect environment for brown-bag and picnic lunches. The lobby visitor center has six displays focusing on the history of the company, including a vintage ad exhibit and the latest Levi products. The Filbert Steps to Coit Tower are across the street.
