The new plaza, located near The Immaculate Catholic Church, replaced a two-way street as part of the school’s plan to make the campus more pedestrian friendly. The new walkway includes a grass lawn named “The Student Commons” and a mini amphitheater. This new green space also includes many sustainability initiatives, including drought tolerant grass and a high-tech watering system that will be used to minimize the amount of water needed to maintain it. Latitude 33 provided grading and improvement plans to expand USD’s central pedestrian promenade from the existing Colachis Plaza to Plaza de San Diego (approximately 800 linear feet of improvements)
