When it comes to science-based exhibitions, institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) and the Mingei International Museum are not often the first places that come to mind.
But in 2024, MCASD and Mingei, along with the La Jolla Historical Society, the San Diego Museum of Art and the UC San Diego Institute of Arts and Humanities, will all unveil multifaceted, multitiered programming as part of the Getty Foundation’s “Pacific Standard Time: Art x Science x L.A.” Pacific Standard Time is a series of concurrent exhibitions held throughout Southern California. On Jan. 27, it was announced that more than $5 million in exhibition research grants had been awarded to 45 organizations throughout the region.
Engineering council awards include two La Jolla projects
Two San Diego companies received honors for projects in La Jolla as the American Council of Engineering Companies of California announced the 2021 recipients of its annual
Engineering Excellence Awards.
Kleinfelder received an award for its work on the UC San Diego Mesa Housing pedestrian and bicycle bridge, which links the Mesa Housing neighborhood to almost every part of the campus.
The bridge spans 465 feet and features a 10-foot-wide bike lane and a 6-foot-wide pedestrian walkway.
Moffatt & Nichol received an award for its work on the Gilman Road bridge, which extends Gilman across Interstate 5, ties into Medical Center Drive on the east campus, completes the campus transportation “loop road” and provides a direct link for buses, cars, bicycles and pedestrians.
