ALCALA PARK

U SD's 180-acre campus is located atop a mesa overlooking San Diego's Mission Bay, just off of Interstates 5 and 8. The campus includes 18 major buildings designed in 16th century Spanish architecture. The upper campus includes all of the university's administrative and classroom facilities. Located at the east end of campus are the Alcala Vista apartments, the Mission housing complex, graduate student apartments and the Sports Center, which contains an Olympic-sized swimming pool, gymnasium, stadium, tennis courts, weight room and playing fields. The newest building on campus is the Manchester Family Child Development Center, a 6,000-square-foot facility located southeast of Cunningham Baseball Stadium.

Currently under construction next to More Hall is the Legal Research Center. Phase I was completed in the spring of 1989, when a 29,000-square-foot addition to the Law Library was finished. Phase II - scheduled for completion in the spring of 1990 - involves a complete remodeling of the existing wing of the library. Other facilities constructed during the '80s include the Ernest and Jean Hahn University Center (1986), a 74,500-square-foot building which houses dining, meeting and office areas; the Alcala Vista apartments (1987), a 156-unit student apartment complex; Olin Hall (1984), home to the School of Business Administration; the Douglas F.
