San Diego Tool Day at the University of
California San Diego (UCSD) will delve into the newly completed,
award-winning Student Academic Services Facility (SASF) designed by Rob
Wellington Quigley, FAIA.
"The new
Student Services Center anchors the heart of the university center
neighborhood and defines and connects three different campus open spaces.
It also enhances pedestrian circulation through a series of covered
arcades and open porticos. The façade of the building is comprised of a
curtain wall system with sun screens, allowing the building users
flexibility in relation to views and sun protection."

This all-day workshop provides a setting in
which participants learn to use handheld instruments, conduct a building
performance case study through structured methodology, develop hypothesis
and investigation strategy formulation, are allowed behind-the-scenes building
investigations, and make team presentations of study results to
the workshop participants. Participants gain understanding of objective
and subjective procedures for performing post-occupancy evaluations of
building performance.
The SASF is located on Meyers Drive off Gilman Drive in the center of
campus. See detail map or UCSD
