The overall area is called University Research Park and borders on
the west side of the UCI campus. The 185-acre University Research Park
is home to about 40 companies and more than 4,000 employees.
Cisco, AOL, Intel and others are just down the street. BUT, the first large scale CAMPUS belongs to Skyworks.
Skyworks ocupies 4 or the 6 buildings in their quad area.
Skyworks' wireless LAN front-end module is used in front of Broadcom's chipsets.
Skyworks campus will front end Broadcom's newset campus.
Broadcom announced in January 2005 that it move its operations to the University of California Irvine's
University Research Park, calling it one of the largest office leases in Orange County history.
The communications chip maker said it will occupy eight new buildings -- and about 700,000 square feet --
when it moves from its Irvine headquarters in about two years. The deal means Broadcom will expand its
operations in Irvine by more than 200,000 square feet.
By partnering with Skyworks, Broadcom will continue to deliver products that will greatly improve
the Wi-Fi user experience,"
The move will make colaberation easier and quicker once they are walking distance apart.
You are able to see both campuses day or night.

Took me a couple of visits to find this one. Coordinates and clue threw me off, particularly the parking clue. After looking at the logs and punching in the more accurate coordinates, the location became obvious.

Found after walking a circle first, yeah coords are off by a bit, but quick look around and it becomes luckily obvious where to go :)
Last of 10 today, TFTC!

Agreed with other logs: coordinates were "off" and hint was misleading - though not inaccurate.

11:32 am: I searched for a while and could not come up with it. I finally tried an obvious hiding place that was a bit outside of my search area and came up with the cache. My new GPSmap 60Cx said it was 60 feet away from ground zero, (N33 38.199, W117 51.126). Left Steve Martin Button #1691, TFTC.

The clues seemed to be more of a hindrance than help to me, just use your geosense. Had to outwait one muggle in order to look where I found the cache, I guess my lunch time was his too. Thx 4 the hide.

The sights are not as shocking as the cache could be.
No landscape trampling required.
You do NOT work for UCI, don't park there.
