San Diego State University is seeking to shave hundreds of millions of dollars off development costs associated with the office portion of its planned Mission Valley campus.
The school, through a formal solicitation process, is currently in search of an architectural firm to come up with alternative designs for what’s being referred to as the “Innovation District,” or the area of the 135-acre site reserved for office, research and educational uses. Bidders are being asked to reconfigure the layout of 13 buildings and 5,000 parking spaces located south of the in-progress Aztec Stadium, as the institution believes the buildings no longer require a parking platform to lift them out of the site’s floodplain.
