MVE Institutional was selected to be the Executive Architect for UC San Diego's Village at The Torrey Pines West. The project is located on prime UCSD land in La Jolla, near Salk Institute and the La Jolla Glider Port.
This project is composed of 1,020 beds in various building forms, including one residential tower with a conference pavilion on the 15th floor, overlooking the adjacent Torrey Pines State Reserve and Pacific Ocean; two podium buildings, each four-stories; and five three- and four-story on-grade buildings. These buildings consist of flats and townhomes with floor plans that can accommodate between two to eight beds per unit.
The project's amenities are to be used by not only students and faculty, but also by visitors to the campus; these include two multi-media capable meeting rooms, one of which resides in the pavilion at the 15th story of the residence tower. Each of the conference rooms can be subdivided into three smaller conference rooms and are serviced by adjacent catering pantries. Other project features include a student bookstore with an attached convenience store, the Village Market, two laundry facilities and a mail facility which will serve both Torrey Pines East and West.
The Village at Torrey Pines West is LEED Silver equivalent.
