The first major phase of construction started in January 2022 on an approximately 10-acre parcel at the southeast portion of the Hillcrest campus. This phase, anticipated to complete in Fall 2025, consists of a 251,000 gross square foot Outpatient Pavilion housing specialty clinical programs, a new parking structure with approximately 1,850 parking spaces (consolidating patient and employee parking for improved patient and caregiver access) and related utility infrastructure. The redevelopment is part of the overall 2019 Hillcrest Long Range Development Plan that guides redevelopment of the Hillcrest Campus and construction of a new replacement hospital per the California Health and Safety Code (Alquist Act/SB 1953).

Immediate Parking Lot, Street Traffic and Pedestrian Impacts
During construction, every effort will be made to reduce impacts to the campus and community, including sequencing of work and investments made to mitigate disruption. Regular and frequent communications will be provided to ensure the community is aware in advance of any significant work that will be occurring.

- Work hours will be limited to Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., except when absolutely necessary to reduce impacts to traffic, emergency, health operations and the local community.
- Demolition work and early construction activities from through early 2022 will result in higher-than-normal noise levels. Work will be conducted with proper administrative controls on equipment in order to not exceed a 12‐hour average sound level of 75 decibels, aligning with the Environmental Impact Report and City of San Diego’s construction noise level requirements.
- Intermittent traffic impacts and minor delays are expected throughout construction along 1st Avenue, Arbor Drive and Front Street, including single lane closures along Front Street and Arbor Drive intermittently. Access to all UC San Diego Health facilities will always be maintained.
- Sidewalks on the east side of Front Street and the north side of Arbor Drive will close for the duration of construction.
- Bachman Place is closed between Hotel Circle South and the Bachman Parking Structure.
