Project Overview:
Theatre District Living & Learning Neighborhood is an integrated mixed-use community designed to foster student success and community connections at UC San Diego. It features evidence-based design strategies intended to foster physical health, mental well-being, and academic achievement. Driven by the university’s commitment to climate action, the high-performance project also emphasizes a restored ecology, sustainability and resilience through thoughtful integration of the natural and built environments. Spanning a 10-acre site, the coastal neighborhood features five mixed-use buildings with 2,000 undergraduate beds, a 1,200-car subterranean parking garage, classrooms, a meeting center, a market hall, retail and a tranquil meditation pavilion.
