Document Description
The project site is currently developed with two vacant office buildings (Highlander Hall) totaling 61,251 sf and a recently fire-damaged office building (Human Resources Building) totaling 8,242 sf. The former Highlander Hall included offices and 96 parking spaces. The Human Resources Building, prior to a recent fire, included offices, a tutorial room, and a conference room. considering the need to demolish Highlander Hall as a result of a "POOR" seismic rating under current seismic codes and a recent fire at the Human Resources Building, UCR has determined that additional surface parking for existing student, faculty, and staff displaced from other parking areas on campus could be added to this location. The proposed project involves the demolition of 61,251 sf of existing office uses in the Highlander Hall structures and 8,242 sf of existing office uses in the Human Resources Building. Upon completion of demolition, the project proposes to construct additional surface parking within a reconfiguration of the existing Parking Lot 50. The project site is not identified on any lists of hazardous waste sites compiled pursuant to California Government Code Section 65962.5.
