In the final formal request for a Center, some specifics were detailed, including "A LGBT Resource Center should be located in the University Center neighborhood. An overall floor space of approximately 3,000 sq. ft. should comprise conference rooms, offices, and library/computing resource space."

In November 1999, Chancellor Dynes officially dedicated a 300 square foot space on campus for the LGBT Resource Center (although back then it was designated an "office"). In February 2002, the Resource Center upgraded to its former location of 960 square feet in Building 312 of the University Center (where the current Prebys Music Building is located). That was also the year the Campus Community Center's concept was created- working together formally with the Cross-Cultural Center and Women's Center.  In 2006, the Center opened in what is one of the largest LGBT Resource Centers on any public university campus in the nation, our current home!  Just this past year our Campus Community Centers team expanded to include the Black Resource Center and the Raza Resource Centro.

This year the UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center will celebrate 15 years on our campus.  Our plans are to host a UC San Diego LGBT Resource Center 15 year anniversary symposium highlighting the struggle and resistance of Trans Women of Color in the prison system, in cooperation with the UC presidential fellow Eric Stanley.  It is set for Wednesday, November 5^th.  Save the date and stay tuned for more info!
