Designing a Hub for Innovation

The SDSU Mission Valley Innovation District will include 1.6 million square feet of research and innovation space to support economic and educational opportunities for our region. SDSU Mission Valley is designed to be a vibrant development that includes parks and open space, housing, a hotel, a multiuse stadium, and easy access to public transportation. The Innovation District is only three short trolley stops from the main university campus!

Developed largely through public-private partnerships, the Innovation District will facilitate internships, create new educational experiences, inspire ideas, advance technology, and foster new research. The university-industry collaborations will build upon the university’s research and innovation to design creative solutions to problems facing the San Diego region. These collaborations will also enable the university and industry partners to create new career pathways for students, providing a skilled workforce for changing industry needs that will enhance the regional economy. Integration of the university’s entrepreneurial and technology transfer programs will enhance translational research and interdisciplinary collaborations in areas reflective of the multiple, intersecting growth sectors that comprise the San Diego innovation economy.

The full build-out of all Innovation District buildings is planned to occur over about 10 years.
