The University of San Diego has opened its new 55,000-sq.ft. Student Life Pavilion student center, which not only includes various international dining stations as well as a full-service grocery store, but is designed to be the school’s first LEED certified building (in fact, is seeking gold-level certification).  The four-story Spanish Mediterranean style facility cost $30.4 million to build, with the money coming in part from an increase student fees passed by student referendum in 2005.

The Pavilion is designed to “set a new standard” for student dining and student life, says André Mallié, director of auxiliary services. “We’ve provided a distinctive gathering place where all students—undergraduate, graduate and law—will find a sense of place and community.”
