Excerpt: Daniel Leonard Dworsky (born October 4, 1927 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) has been a leading Southern California architect since the early 1950s. He is a longstanding member of the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows. Among other works, Dworsky designed Crisler Arena, the basketball arena at the University of Michigan named for Dworsky's former football coach, Fritz Crisler. Other professional highlights include designing Drake Stadium at UCLA, the Federal Reserve Bank in Los Angeles, California and the Block M seating arrangement at Michigan Stadium.
