Description

The Conference Center & Cafeteria Building is a 15,127 SF single story building with rooftop terrace, located at 5520 Overland Avenue, San Diego CA 92123. The Conference Center is part of the new County Operations Center, a 1.2 million SF complex of government offices, laboratories, warehouse/storage, central plant, Medical Examiner building, and two parking structures. Developed by Lowe Enterprises, the complex will be owned and operated by the County of San Diego.

The Conference Center provides a central meeting space and food service facility for the County’s Operations Center, and includes a large assembly room, commercial kitchen, interior and exterior dining areas, a roof deck, green roof, solar hot water system and solar panel arrays mounted on trellis systems.
