The university acknowledges and is sensitive to the fact that the work involved in achieving the Hillcrest campus redevelopment may be disruptive at times.
During construction, every effort will be made to reduce impacts to the campus and community, including sequencing of work and investments made to mitigate disruption.
From Monday, April 4, 2022 to mid-2024, Bachman Place will be closed to through traffic (vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle) between Hotel Circle South and Montecito Way. The Bachman Parking Structure will remain open and accessible to Health employees via Hotel Circle.
Arbor Drive will remain open but will intermittently have one lane closed at a time. Arbor Drive will connect with Bachman Place in mid-2024.
Construction site operating hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Typical site hours may vary.
Emergency access will be maintained throughout construction. Please refer to this map of the construction area for more information.
Sustainability is a critical component of all UC San Diego planning and development efforts as put forth by both the University's Climate Action Plan and University of California’s Sustainable Practices Policy. A complete campus redevelopment provides opportunities to align the physical campus with UC San Diego’s broader sustainability goals.
The outpatient pavilion is designed to achieve U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification and outperform the Energy efficiency performance target (EUI). The parking structure, not eligible for LEED™ certification, will strive for a Silver certification through the PARKSMART program. In addition, UC San Diego would purchase all the project’s electricity needs through the UC Direct Access Program, which will be 100% renewable and have zero carbon emissions associated starting in 2025.
