Vision


UC San Diego sought to create a new Urban Innovation and Education Hub in downtown San Diego to foster a wide range of educational experiences and research opportunities as well as arts and cultural activities and build a stronger connection to the San Diego community. To execute the development, the City enlisted Holland Partner Group, with whom Carrier Johnson + Culture already had an established successful relationship. Together, the City and the developer envisioned a mixed-use development with an iconic high-rise that offered a mix of high-end and affordable rental units, retail along Park Boulevard, restoration of the historic Remmen Building, and publicly accessible open space to fulfill multiple uses.

Civic engagement is at the forefront of the complex’s design. As the new home for the UC San Diego Park & Market Extended Studies Center, community members across the South Bay have access to the center’s unique programming and collaborations labs, where university partners conduct research on social policy, public health, and sustainability in support of the region’s bi-national development. 

The center also brings innovative visual and performing arts to the downtown community with the 225-seat Guggenheim theater, multiple art galleries for public art installations, and a public amphitheater with a dual-sided multimedia wall for outdoor events and performances. Media Arts Center San Diego also hosts its second theater here along with the 58-seat Digital Gym Cinema – a forum that showcases independent and foreign films, including live theater screenings in partnership with the National Theatre in Washington DC.
