New Green Building Tours at UC San Diego to Blend Architecture, History and Sustainability
Campus NewsEarly architects at the University of California, San Diego dreamed of a monumental campus. A grandiose amphitheater and bell tower were to dominate the center of campus and each of the six colleges would feature expansive plazas connected by grand promenades. After the construction of Revelle College, public spaces evolved into more intimate campus neighborhoods with organic corridors that invited interaction. Today, campus architects are careful stewards of the land, incorporating sustainable building practices that channel the surrounding ocean bluffs, canyon valleys and eucalyptus groves.
