Triton Center is meant to become the beating heart of the university, and Ridgewalk North will become one of the school's largest residential villages.
Continuing a decade-long boom, the University of California Board of Regents has given its San Diego campus permission to build a huge student center and a 2,400-bed housing complex that will jointly cost $1.1 billion.
The projects are part of a larger effort by the Regents to accommodate thousands more students, primarily from California. Over the past decade, the system’s enrollment has soared by 55,610 students, hitting 294,309.A substantial portion of that growth is occurring at UCSD, which still has room to expand. The campus currently has about 43,000 students, up from 29,517 in fall 2013. Chancellor Pradeep Khosla says enrollment could reach 50,000 in about a decade.
In addition to 2,400 beds for undergraduates, Ridgewalk North will feature administrative and teaching space for Thurgood Marshall College, the School of Global Policy and Strategy and the Department of Economics, the campus said. There will be 19 new classrooms, a dining center and a 150-seat lecture hall.
