The low rise at the northwest corner of First Avenue and G Street, constructed by one of San Diego’s most esteemed builders, is the picture of modern office perfection.
Designed with tech worker efficiency in mind, each of the four floors is big and open, with natural light streaming in from floor-to-ceiling glass windows. An inviting, central courtyard and a Peloton-equipped fitness center are ready to compete for employee downtime. A street-level restaurant space opposite the future Campus at Horton could satisfy other cravings. And, despite the building’s short stature, there are still plenty of quintessential urban views to be had. There’s even underground parking.
When they set up the site, city and county officials agreed to leave Tailgate Park by April 1, since the Padres season would be around the corner.
Just last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom toured the Petco Park vaccine super station, calling it an inspiration to other communities across the state. Now, though, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria tells NBC 7 that the super station model may soon be a thing of the past.
More than 100,000 people have received their shots there, but, like the vaccine itself, this site has a shelf life. While it has proven effective for many people seeking vaccinations, it has also come with long lines and wait times.
Tailgate Park’s vaccine site was closed since Sunday due to the supply shortage. On Tuesday, the county’s shipment of the vaccines finally arrived.
All appointments offered on Wednesday were to people receiving their second doses. A spokesperson for UC San Diego Health said all canceled appointments from Sunday through Tuesday were rescheduled for sometime between Feb. 23 to Feb. 25.
The first day it was reopen had some wait times for those with appointments but lightened up around noon. People reported waiting anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
More than 100,000 doses of the vaccine has been administered at the East Village location but the future of the super station is unknown, considering baseball season is just around the corner. The city and county agreed the vaccine site would leave Tailgate Park by April 1 since it would be near the Padres’ opening season.
