Scheduled for completion in summer 2024, the Torrey View research campus will feature three scientific workplace facilities and an amenity building. The campus will provide 515,000 square feet of state-of-the-art space for life science firms in the heart of San Diego's burgeoning research community.

Flad leaders Philip Ra and Mauricio Ortega, along with Sarah Williams of Breakthrough Properties and Alex Rosenthal of Heintges Consulting Architects & Engineers, will lead a presentation at Facades+ San Diego to provide insights on the high-tech research facility, which offers unique views from inside and out.

Inspired by Torrey Pines' local geologic formations, the exterior design features steeply graded coffering on the façade. Based upon natural tessellation patterns, varied and intermixed window forms create a dynamic, signature envelope, while placement and massing of the individual buildings on the 10-acre site preserves and enhances the existing views of the ocean and surrounding hills and canyon.
