Urban Discovery Academy Completed

SAN DIEGO—KCM Group, a leading San Diego construction management firm, recently completed work on the Urban Discovery Academy. The independent charter school promotes project-based learning, community service, Spanish-language instruction, technology and the arts. Housed in temporary venues since its opening in 2008, the new $10.5 million campus provides a permanent home for this K-8 school.

Urban Discovery Academy is located in the I.D.E.A. District of San Diego’s East Village neighborhood. I.D.E.A. stands for innovation, design, education and the arts. The district was formed to promote projects that support the ability to live, work, shop and get educated in the walkable environment. The grand opening ceremony held earlier this month was attended by mayor Kevin Faulconer, city councilmember Todd Gloria, and police chief Shelly Zimmerman.
