Project Summary

The UCSD Pepper Canyon Public Realm project encompasses the public space around a new Design Innovation Building and the Light Rail Transit Station as well as a new Amphitheater and support buildings. This multi-phase project includes public spaces for performances, transportation, dining, studying, classrooms, and fire access to mention a few.

The project covers approximately 5.1-acres of disturbed area and will increase the impervious area with the new fire lanes, buildings, amphitheater seating, and walkways. A regional bioretention basin was coordinated with the West Pepper Canyon Housing and Triton Pavilion projects since all projects had water quality and flow mitigation prior discharging to the same storm drain system.

Nasland Engineering provided demolition, grading, utility, drainage, and erosion control plans for this project. The plans were prepared to regional standards and processed with the University. Nasland also provided topographic surveying, bidding, construction administration, and record drawing services.
