The Research and Development District (RaDD) is downtown San Diego’s newest life science mixed-use development. Sitting on eight acres and occupying six city blocks, San Diego’s Research and Development District will represent the largest urban commercial waterfront site along California’s Pacific coast, once complete. Designed by Gensler, this dynamic urban life science campus will feature a mix of mid-rise buildings, a 17-story tower, ground-floor retail, restaurants, and a public paseo, all activated by roof decks and green space for the community to enjoy. 

For this project, Rainscreen Solutions LLC was pleased to provide engineering service for metal panel’s façade system. Learn more here.
