GroundLevel Landscape Architecture (GroundLevel), SGPA Architecture and Planning, and SDSU’s campus architect, Robert Shultz, were involved with this project in a design-build team effort between Sundt General Contractors, SVA Architects, Michael Baker Civil Engineers (formerly RBF) and GroundLevel. Brad Lenahan, ASLA, was the project principal and designer for GroundLevel.
Like a butterfly from a cocoon, an inviting new open space for the San Diego State University community is set to emerge from the site of a former asphalt parking lot. Construction fences are set to come down Friday, April 7 to reveal Campus Green, an urban park-like outdoor location featuring benches, grass and lots of trees.
The one-acre tract is the final phase of construction for South Campus Plaza, the $142.7-million mixed-use retail and residential development nearing completion along the west side of College Avenue north of Montezuma Road. Campus Green is designed primarily to serve as outdoor space for nearby high-rise residence hall dwellers.
