ENRICHING THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY
As UC San Diego continues to grow , the university seeks to open itself up to the greater community , inviting alumni to return and reengage , and bringing in a vibrance that supports students ’ development and provides opportunities for academic , personal and professional success .
1 . The Gateway Complex will transform the center of campus , establishing a more clearly defined entrance to our university while enlivening our community hub . Consider our campus center being another go-to neighborhood of San Diego — an active , intellectual destination with a unique spirit and students at its heart . New buildings will house resources such as career services , an alumni center and International Center programs , as well as UC San Diego Extension . Expected completion : 2021
2 . UC San Diego and Holland Partner Group recently broke ground on a new Downtown Development at Park and Market that will connect the university to San Diego ’ s innovation community and the many neighborhoods throughout its urban core . UC San Diego Extension will manage a facility on site with outreach and education programs for middle- and high-school students ; business incubation and entrepreneurship resources ; arts and cultural events and exhibits ; and research and volunteer opportunities that encourage civic engagement for UC San Diego students and faculty . Expected completion : Summer 2020
3 . The arrival of Light Rail Transit and the UC San Diego Blue Line will be a paradigm shift in how our campus interacts with the community . With two stops on campus — at Pepper Canyon in the west and Voigt Drive in the east — the trolley will provide an effective campus-commuting alternative , reduce roadway congestion , improve public transit services and better connect the region with all that UC San Diego has to offer . Expected completion : 2021
