This is not a parking lot .
* But yes , there will be parking .
This is the future of campus life at UC San Diego . More than just buildings , the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood is a whole new dynamic . “ The neighborhood will be a live , learn and play community ,” says Chancellor Pradeep K . Khosla , “ connecting our campus with the entire San Diego region , inviting one and all to engage and enjoy all of our cultural and intellectual offerings .”
With enrollment expected to top 40,000 within the next five years , the neighborhood is part of a master plan to meet student housing goals and guarantee four years of campus accommodation to all students who want it . “ As we bring more students to UC San Diego , we must plan for everything needed to support them ,” says Gary Matthews , vice chancellor of resource management and planning . “ We need to continue creating great spaces for people to learn , live and interact .”
The neighborhood represents UC San Diego ’ s vision for the future : a combination of residential housing and classroom space , dining halls and outdoor recreation , a new Craft Center , subterranean parking , and an array of retail and entertainment venues . At its heart , however , is community .
