Campus Planning

Campus Planning works with campus and community stakeholders to anticipate the campus's future capital and development needs and to guide its physical development in support of UC San Diego’s mission and vision as articulated in its Strategic Plan.  Campus Planning plays a key role in the planning, review and approval process for UC San Diego’s capital program, partnering with many in the campus community in the development of new building projects, renovations, space planning/management and infrastructure projects.

The Campus Planning office includes:

• Capital Planning is responsible for capital project funding analysis, works with UC Office of the President to obtain capital project approvals and leads the effort for the annual updates to the Capital Financial Plan and the annual report on Major Capital Projects implementation.
• Environmental Planning navigates environmental regulations to minimize the environmental impacts of development, ensures compliance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and oversees habitat management of the campus Ecological Reserve.
• Physical Planning coordinates with campus partners to ensure campus development achieves the vision of the Physical Design Framework and meets the goals and objectives of the Long Range Development Plan.
• Space Planning helps to ensure the effective use of campus administrative space.

Other functions include:

• Maintaining a portfolio of plans and studies including the Long Range Development Plan
• Working with a variety of committees
• Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, including local community members, groups, organizations, the City of San Diego and agencies, such as SANDAG and Caltrans
