Getting to the Design & Innovation Building at UC San Diego is easy... especially if you take the trolley. Remember, it's free to park at the trolley parking structure on Nobel Drive and you need only go two stops north with a trolley ticket ($2.50 each way). Our building is right out front of the campus trolley stop, and a short walk east to Price Center for plenty of good food and anything else you might need.
Come to the DIB. | Take the Trolley from Nobel Drive Trolley Station.
