Community Benefits

By transforming the former Westside Pavilion shopping mall into a state-of-the-art hub of innovation, UCLA is creating a catalyst of discovery and an engine of economic growth for Los Angeles, Southern California and beyond.
UCLA is committed to being a good neighbor, which includes supporting the local business community. A thriving business corridor along Pico Boulevard benefits the entire community.
UCLA looks forward to ongoing coordination with community, government, and business leaders to contribute to economic revitalization efforts. As Research Park is built out over phases, UCLA will consider organizing town hall meetings to provide updates to local residents and business owners.
Once Research Park is open, UCLA looks forwarding to welcoming the community to future events. Stay up to date with our events page in the future.
Staff and visitors to UCLA Research Park will be encouraged to support the local economy by visiting local shops and restaurants along Pico Boulevard.
