San Diego
The University of California-San Diego (UCSD) has completed construction of the Preuss School, a 74,780-sf charter school for low-income sixth to twelfth grade students on seven acres in the university's East Campus area. Construction began in fall 1999 on five classroom buildings, an administration building, library, and multipurpose gymnasium. The new science building has four lab stations that are supplied with utilities and lab equipment. The stage in the new gym is equipped with sound and lighting capabilities. The $13.1 million project was designed by San Diego-based HMC Architecture to accommodate up to 700 students. Construction was carried out by Nielsen Dillingham Builders Inc., also of San Diego.
