East Campus Infill

Description

The East Campus Infill Project Housing Project (ECI) will develop a new, approximately 196,000 gsf infill student housing complex on the UCSC main campus. The project will construct two 7 and 8-story apartment buildings, which will provide campus housing for about 600 students and two facility staff in about 100 apartments. Staff population will total about 8-10 new campus employees. In addition to housing, the project will provide common areas and support space, including student lounges, recreational rooms, laundry rooms, mail rooms, study spaces, and residential program offices. The project also will include an outdoor plaza between the two buildings adjacent to a cafe and retail space in one of the buildings, and open landscaped areas. These facilities will provide services for students living in the new complex and in the existing Crown/Merrill Apartments. the project includes parking for students, employees, and service vehicles. Project construction will disturb an area of approximately 3.1 acres, which includes about 2.2 acres of redwood and mixed evergreen forest and oak woodland. Construction will require extensive grading and fill and the removal of about 220 trees.
