We also consulted with Mexican-American Architect Enrique Norten who has close ties to Chula Vista as well as high-level Mexican governmental and higher education officials.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The City of Chula Vista, California has engaged U3 Advisors to help establish a University and Innovation District campus on a 375-acre site in the southeast corner of the City. Chula Vista, a growing city located approximately four miles north of the US/Mexico border and midpoint between the downtowns of San Diego and Tijuana, envisions this campus as an educational destination and regional economic engine. U3 is guiding the effort to identify potential partner institutions for this project and is exploring opportunities with higher education partners globally and domestically.
