Since its inception, the UC San Diego Hillcrest Redevelopment Phase One project has been faced with a challenging site, a demanding scope and a fixed budget. The project team will share insight into the design and the role it plays in the overall Master Plan for the UCSD Hillcrest Campus, as well as how a common mission and values have factored into early successes and a solid foundation for the future as they embark on construction.
