SIGNIFICANCE:

• The Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier will serve as a public event center and cruise ship terminal. The modern, two-story center will be the Port of San Diego’s first “green” building. The $28-million project that includes infrastructure costs and the pavilion is designed and built to use less water and energy. In addition, cruise ships that will berth at the pavilion and the Port’s main cruise ship terminal at the B Street Pier will use shore-side electrical power resulting in less pollution from diesel-burning engines.

MEDIA:

• A preview and media tour will be held a week before the dedication. More details will be provided later.
