UC San Diego Nuevo West Graduate Student Housing

About the Project

Designed to serve as the vital portal to the pedestrian and bicycle bridge that connects the East and West campuses into a cohesive whole, the Nuevo West Graduate Student Housing is a mixed-use residential and common amenity program that includes two residential buildings and a market. The community provides a total of 884 new beds⁠—804 beds for graduate student residents and 80 beds for the Patient Family House North, which accommodates the needs of family and relatives of patients being treated at the nearby UCSD Medical Center. The diverse resident population is supported by a mix of shared amenities, including a marketplace, café, activity and study rooms, music practice rooms, a central plaza, three gardens, outdoor cooking and gathering spaces and a rooftop perch. Nuevo West includes a six-story parking structure with 1,227 parking stalls.
