CAMPUS MASTER PLAN AND LAND USE

This campus master plan includes the College’s future plans to acquire additional parcels to the north of the I5. The parcels of the existing California Western School of Law Library and the neighboring parking lot have been combined to create the space for Building 1 and Building 2 is where the current classroom building sits. Building 3 and 4 are currently not owned by the school but are in the process of being acquired. As a separate endeavor the City of San Diego has plans to implement a freeway cap to connect the communities and resources north of the freeway to the downtown area. The freeway cap will serve as a connector between students, faculties, their families, and other San Diego community members. The proposed physical campus master plan integrates increased density, greater diversity of uses, and cotemporary functions to improve relevance and resilience of the future Cal Wester School of Law. Functions include, retail/ public market space, a transit center, a hotel, a restaurant, a theatre, and market housing. With Building 1 and Building 2 being closer to the major tourist-attraction of downtown San Diego, most of the public functions were placed on those parcels, while university functions were placed on Building 3 and Building 4, which are both closer to a large residential and district. To collocate students with the campus functions, student housing is in Building 3 and Building 4, and to collocate faculty and market housing near the public, it is in Building 1 and Building 2. To generate revenue for the school, the implementation of public markets and retail take advantage of the lively city of San Diego and its population. In addition, the historical significance of Building 2, provided the opportunity to offer a restaurant and a hotel to allow the San Diego community and tourists to experience the history of Cal Western, while also generating more revenue for the university.
