The Campus at Horton
Adaptive reuse project featuring office spaces, life science facilities, retail outlets, and dining establishments
The Campus at Horton is a 1,000,000 square foot redevelopment project located in San Diego, CA that will reinvent a formerly abandoned mall into a lively community complex with beautiful office spaces, life science facilities, retail outlets, and dining establishments.
The project will reuse roughly 54% of its water by deploying Epic’s OneWater™ system to capture and treat 24,000 GPD of wastewater for treatment and reuse in cooling tower makeup and flushing throughout the campus. The blackwater system will recycle over 8.7 million gallons per year, saving over $170,000 per year in water and sewer fees.
Epic Cleantec is overseeing the design, permitting, and startup commissioning for this innovative project.
