This building will thrive because its ‘cells’ are
leaky,” Brin said. “Its structure is malleable and adaptable to changing needs,
deliberately almost biological. Not a rigid expression of one architect’s ego,
but a willing servant to many more generations of pioneers, who will work
within these walls. And who will want to move some of the walls, to make this
structure truly theirs.

The new building was also featured in a front page story in the UT San Diego, and online following the event, which was attended by UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, State Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, and Irwin Jacobs, Qualcomm's founding chairman and CEO emeritus. The new building has attracted support from Cymer, a San Diego company
co-founded by UC San Diego alumni, Dr. Bob Akins (‘74, ‘77, ‘83) and Dr.
Richard Sandstrom (‘72, ‘76, ‘79). Enabling the commercialization of
today’s advanced consumer electronics devices, Cymer is a leading
developer of light sources used by chipmakers worldwide. Cymer’s
generous gift is being used to outfit the building, including the
three-story Cymer Conference Center, which will cultivate a hub for
industry collaboration and innovation.
