UC San Diego forges ahead with plan to bounce back from damaging days of COVID-19 [The San Diego Union-Tribune]
It’s an unexpected sight on a campus dominated by big, bold buildings.
UC San Diego erected four circus-like tents in its engineering quad, creating space for students to take classes when school resumes on Jan. 4.
La Jolla’s sea breeze will ventilate the tents, helping fend off the coronavirus and enabling UCSD to increase its in-person enrollment to 7,400, up 800 from the fall, the university says.
There also will be 1,000 more students in dorms. Six restaurants will start to open in a new campus village that houses 2,000. A second village that size is coming. And a grand plaza is taking shape where a Blue Line trolley station will open in November.
