Document Description
The proposed Project involves the construction and operation of an approximately 12,000-square-foot, single-story, four-building complex that would provide affordable student housing at the SDSU Imperial Valley Off-Campus Center - Calexico. The complex would include three student housing buildings, including one smaller live-in unit building, and a community building. Combined, the Project would provide a total of 80 student beds: 10 four-bedroom apartments (80 student beds). A 2-bedroom unit would also provide living space for on-site management (for a total of 82 beds).
Other features of the proposed Project would include approximately 16,000 square feet of on-site landscaping and hardscape improvements (i.e., sidewalks, pedestrian walkways). The proposed
Project would provide student housing for students attending both the Off-Campus Center - Calexico and the Imperial Valley Community College District (IVCCD).
SDSU and the IVCCD have received joint funding under the State of California Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program to construct the proposed Project To support basic housing needs
for students in the Imperial Valley, SDSU and IVCCD have executed a 30-year master lease agreement that details operation of the Project. This agreement dictates that 40 of the 80 proposed
student beds would be reserved for IVCCD students who attend the Imperial Valley College in Imperial. likewise, 40 of the proposed 82 beds, would be reserved for SDSU students. A two-bedroom
unit would also provide living space for on-site management, for a total of 82 beds. SDSU would be responsible for operating, managing, and maintaining the proposed Project once operational.
