All welcome!1 LU/HSWThe San Benito Student Housing Project will provide approximately 2,250 student beds to the UCSB Main Campus to meet the residential need of the campus for 3,500 new beds outlined in the University’s Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The Design will comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices and plans to achieve a LEED Platinum rating. The project will be located on the current Facilities Management Site (FM Site). The program totals approximately 500,000 Assignable Square Feet (ASF), and 700,000 Gross Square Feet (GSF). It will support the campus with living quarters, community and residential amenities, retail and dining, and building support. Unit typologies include studios, 2-bedroom apartments with 2 beds and 1 bath and 4-bedroom apartments with 8 beds and 2 baths. The Campus plans occupancy for the Fall quarter of 2027. In 2006, UCSB prepared a Campus Housing Study (Study) that established a vision for residential development to address the need for affordable housing for students. This is foundational for the 2010 UCSB Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) which plans for the physical development of the campus to accommodate the expansion of enrollment that now exceeds 25,000 students. San Benito Student Housing will provide a new neighborhood of undergraduate student housing on the Main Campus. This will offer a four-year residential experience that supports a vibrant campus community.
