We are thrilled to announce that the Southeastern Live Well Center has won a DBIA National Award of Merit! This recognition not only celebrates projects that exemplify exceptional design and construction, but are projects that are bold statements about the future of our industry.

The 65,000-square-foot Southeastern Live Well Center supports San Diego County’s Live Well San Diego initiative, working to enhance the health, safety, and well-being of both residents and employees.

The Live Well Center helps fulfill that vision by providing much-needed upgrades to health and community services in the Southeastern San Diego community. The Center will serve as an accessible, convenient hub for the community and offer educational and workforce training opportunities in addition to the services traditionally provided by the County. Available services include medical insurance coverage, food and nutrition assistance, family strengthening services, financial and employment assistance, public health, behavioral health, child support, restorative justice, services for older adults and people with disabilities and services for veterans and members of the military.

The building incorporates a significant interior and exterior public art program with murals whose themes and imagery were developed in concert with community members. Local artists were invited to participate in shaping the creative vision for the new center. The county solicited submissions from visual and multimedia artists and will commission artwork for numerous spaces in and around the new center.
