The University of California San Diego Price Center expansion added more than 170,000 square feet to the existing student center facilities, providing new spaces for retail, dining, meetings, performance events, student organizations, and other campus services.
To help differentiate the building components, cool white sources were used in the tube portions of the building while warm white sources illuminated the three dimensional trapezoid. Within the building, grids of lines and circles were utilized to accentuate the flow of the building’s structure while characterizing the modern urban statement. Indirect lighting with diffuse covers to avoid glare were used in the large atrium to highlight the volume and provide comfortable light levels.
