Rady Alums Leads New UC San Diego Building Project
Beginning the Summer of 2018, UC San Diego will expand its campus with a new seven-building project led by Carlos Gonzales (MBA ’07), the Regional Executive Officer and Senior Vice President of Clark Construction Group. When completed, in 2020, the building project will be home to Sixth College, as well as the Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities. It will be called the “Living and Learning Neighborhood” and will be located at North Torrey Pines, the school explained in a recent blog post.
New Space for Gabelli School Under Construction
The Gabelli School of Business will have a new home in 2016. The Fordham Law School building is currently undergoing construction to create a new space for the Gabelli School at Lincoln Center. Fordham recently purchased a building directly across the street from the former law school, which will combine with the law school building to serve as the business school’s new home. The building will undergo a $70 million renovation. In addition to the Gabelli School of Business, the building will now also house the Quinn Library and a student center.
The Quinn Library will encompass three floors of the building. The first floor of the building will hold books, personal computers, study areas and a small cafe for student use. The second floor will house the reference, reserve and circulation desk. The third floor will serve as a “quiet zone” for independent studying. Linda LoSchiavo, head of the Fordham Libraries explains in a Fordham press release that the former area was too small for students and that the new space will be helpful for student success. “We’re finding that there is a lot of learning taking place outside of the classroom. Libraries in general have become integral links to the academic enterprise,” she said.
