Title

Riverside Unified School District Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Center (RUSD STEM Ed Center) Project

Description

The proposed Riverside Unified School District (RUSD) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Center project (referred to as proposed STEM Ed Center or proposed project) would consist of development of a new STEM education facility to support students in grades 9 through 12. The proposed project is expected to serve a capacity of approximately 800 students and approximately 60 faculty and staff with a split schedule between mornings and afternoons. The proposed STEM Ed Center site is approximately six acres and is located within an urbanized area on the southwest corner of the intersection of Blaine Street and Canyon Crest Drive on the University of California, Riverside’s (UCR’s) East Campus, adjacent to the UCR Baseball Complex. The project site is currently developed with an open recreational field with two baseball diamonds. Two cellular network towers currently leased to Sprint and T-Mobile are located in the northwest corner of the proposed STEM Ed Center site. The Sprint cell tower would be decommissioned and removed from the site. The T-Mobile cell tower would be removed from the project site and relocated to the northern portion of the adjacent UCR Baseball Complex. The existing open recreational fields (two baseball diamonds) would be removed with the construction of the proposed STEM Ed Center. The proposed main STEM Ed Center building would be three stories and located primarily in the northeast quadrant of the project site. The surface parking lot would be situated on the southern half of the project site and would contain approximately 153 spaces for staff/faculty, visitors, and student use. Additional accessory buildings and programmed areas may be located on the project site.
