About the Project
landLAB collaborated with Kevin deFreitas Architect on a feasibility study for an on campus fraternity neighborhood for the UC San Diego Campus. The project incorporated a large sunken central open space wrapped with Fraternity houses with a large open event lawn, BBQ terrace, and storm water garden. Interconnected to the neighborhood is the GRK commons building housing lecture rooms, auditorium as well as tower for medical offices. At the heart of the project is a micro retail center featuring small local businesses providing the necessary amenities for not only the housing but to serve all of the East Campus Health Sciences Neighborhood.
