Planning, Design and Construction
Planning, Design and Construction develops new buildings, major renovations, and minor capital improvements for the campus. We also provide staff support and direction to the following campus-wide committees: Physical Master Plan Committee and the Space Committee.
- Completed construction and directed occupancy of the Kellogg Library. Also, specified all equipment and furniture, prepared purchase orders, managed all deliveries and arranged for installation required to operate the Library and all other units with the exception of the video and audio studios. The Kellogg Library is the single most costly, most complex and largest project ever undertaken by the University.
- Prepared preliminary designs, working documents, and bid and awarded the construction of the Business Building. Building construction began in May 2004. Opening in January 2006, the 81,000 sf Business Building will include 1,310 classroom and class lab seats and over 90 faculty offices.
- Designed and successfully bid Telecommunications Improvements which will expend $2.4 million to enhance the capacity and speed of the University communications.
- Revised and confirmed the feasibility of relocating more than 20 student and administrative service units within areas of Craven Hall vacated by the Library when it moved to the new Kellogg Library. Most importantly, this project establishes a “one stop shop” for direct student services, so that students can conduct business with the University at one location without being referred to different offices scattered throughout Craven Hall and the campus as a whole.
- Prepared the capital project feasibility sections of a grant application to the San Diego First Five Commission to fund the construction of the Center for Children and Families. The University received approximately $7.7 million to design, construct and equip a child education center for 190 children of students, faculty, staff and community families.
- Relocated to campus all administrative services units from an off-campus lease of more than 25,000 sf to Craven Hall. Ending this lease saves the University approximately $500,000 annually.
- Constructed a second elevator to serve the second, third, and fourth floor of Academic Hall. This second elevator insures accessibility to the campus’ most intensively utilized instructional building in the event the single original elevator is out-of-service.
- Completed a 232 space parking lot at the northeast corner of campus to serve the residents of University Village Apartments.
- Developed over five acres of perpetually designated wetlands to replace an impacted area that required mitigation to allow the construction of student housing. This area is monitored quarterly to insure the survivability of the wetlands plantings.
- Provided oversight and campus coordination of the excavation of a 16 acre portion of the campus. This work included the creation of a temporary access road that exits from the campus onto La Moree Road. This road will ultimately be developed as a permanent road serving the southern section of the campus.
- Received funding and completed design documents for the construction of ten faculty offices in the Arts Building.
- Renovated Academic Hall 104 for the data collection operation of the Social and Behavioral Research Institute (SBRI). Also, designed and bid the renovation of four rooms in the Foundation Classroom Building for SBRI’s data analysis and administrative operations.
- Drafted the annual submission of the five year capital outlay program for consideration by the Board of Trustees, Department of Finance, and the Legislative Analyst Office. The submission included the original feasibility study for the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building.
