UCSD Student Center Expansion
La Jolla, California | 
Universities

The site is an important addition to the original student center of a major university. The campus is near the ocean, which provides a breezy and benign environment. The original cluster of student center buildings occupied a tree covered hill in the 1970’s. What was the main social hub of the then much smaller campus was de-emphasized by the construction of a newer larger center in the 1980’s. Many of the student services focused at the new location.

Avocado Court
Affordable Family Housing

San Diego non-profit agency, Community Housing Works has commissioned Public to design a 36 unit affordable housing development that utilizes the Build it Green guidelines for multifamily housing. The units will be comprised of one, two, and three bedrooms. The site plan consists of four separate buildings situated to create a central courtyard. This courtyard will have covered picnic and barbeque areas and a “natural” play ground. This project also includes a community garden for the tenants and the greater community alongside a planting palette of edible landscape designed in conjunction with Landscape Architect Schmidt Design Group.
