Hillel of San Diego announces long-awaited<\/strong><\/h5>\n
opening of Jewish center at UC San Diego<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Following 20 years of legal challenges, Hillel of San Diego on Jan. 15 will open the $18.7 million Beverly and Joseph Glickman Hillel Center  \u2013 a long-anticipated center for Jewish students and the entire community adjacent to the UC San Diego campus at 9009 La Jolla Scenic Drive North. <\/p>\n

 According to David Michan, a past president of Hillel of San Diego who chairs the building committee and oversees the project, the 6,500-square-foot state-of the-art facility has been designed to meld with the surrounding community \u2013 encompassing two single-story buildings and one two-story structure, all clustered around a central courtyard. <\/p>\n

Situated on just under one acre, the facility will serve as a foothold for UC San Diego students, hosting Jewish holiday experiences and Jewish learning and community activities \u2013 with flexible spaces designed for student programs, meetings, one-on-one mentorship and religious services. <\/p>\n

Primary components of the new center include a large multipurpose room for dining, social events and performances; a lounge that transitions into a sanctuary; study rooms; and outdoor activity terraces, which provide more space for socializing and connecting.  <\/p>\n

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it has reached an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) with Pacific Ship Repair & Fabrication Inc. over claims of Clean Water Act (CWA) violations at its facility in San Diego.
