The idea of unifying quarks and leptons in a gauge symmetry is very
appealing. However, such an unification gives rise to leptoquark type gauge
bosons for which current collider limits push their masses well beyond the TeV
scale. We present a model in the framework of extra dimensions which breaks
such quark-lepton unification symmetry via compactification at the TeV scale.
These color triplet leptoquark gauge bosons, as well as the new quarks present
in the model, can be produced at the LHC with distinctive final state
signatures. These final state signals include high p_T multi-jets and
multi-leptons with missing energy, monojets with missing energy, as well as the
heavy charged particles passing through the detectors, which we also discuss
briefly. The model also has a neutral Standard Model singlet heavy lepton which
is stable, and can be a possible candidate for the dark matter.
