The new heart of the Miramar Community College campus is the 2 acre Leave a Legacy Plaza. The project is comprised of a decorative plaza, paved pathways, benches, and lighting in a previously undeveloped area of the Campus. These improvements provide access, connection and enhance student safety. The central Plaza space is consistently used as a student meeting point, a space to study, the school’s main outdoor assembly area, and an overall warm and inviting focal point for the entire Campus. Through a beautiful allée of old world trellis features with vibrant bougainvillea vines, this Plaza incorporates a central low-use water feature bordered by donor inscribed bricks, benches, and flagpoles. Designed with the student’s needs, and Campus programming in mind, the Plaza incorporates a strong pedestrian link into the main facility surrounded by open lawn areas for both active use and quiet learning.
“The Plaza is a real show-stopper — a unique and beautiful feature of the Miramar College campus…. You can be very proud of the Plaza. We certainly are!” Sandi Trevisan – Public Information Officer, San Diego Miramar College
