A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
The University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) is located in La Jolla, a small coastal community that sits adjacent to the Pacific Ocean within the City of San Diego. UC San Diego serves as both a major economic engine and an entrepreneurial powerhouse for the San Diego region and for the State of California. The 2000-acre campus has a daily population of over fifty thousand people, 54 acres of turf landscaping, and over 750 buildings and associated infrastructure. The University of California, San Diego is a student-centered, research-focused, service-oriented public institution that provides opportunity for all. Recognized as one of the top 15 research universities worldwide, a culture of collaboration sparks discoveries that advance society and drive economic impact. Sustainability is not just a catch-phrase here – it is a way of life, part of the institutional DNA imparted to us by Roger Revelle, one of the university’s founders and a pioneer of climate change research. Since our founding more than half a century ago, we have built upon that visionary legacy to become a living laboratory of sustainable solutions that benefit UC San Diego as well as our local and global community. From what we study to how we work, the principles of sustainability influence what we do and how we do it. Learn more at http://sustain.ucsd.edu.
