UCR has partnered with American Campus Communities on North District Phase I, the first of a multiphase redevelopment project on UCR’s campus. Morley is providing general contracting services for Phase I, a new 546,000-square-foot living-learning, mixed-use community.

The project features 416 apartment-style housing units across two separate buildings, providing 1,500 beds for upper division undergraduate, transfer, and graduate students. Amenities include two seminar rooms with 32 seats each, one 125-seat multipurpose room, student lounges, market, fitness facility, laundry, and two surface parking lots.

The first phase of construction is anticipated to reach completion in Fall 2021 and is targeting LEED Gold certification. Subsequent phases will be completed based on project demand and financial feasibility. Ultimately, the project is anticipated to deliver approximately 4,000 – 6,000 student housing beds upon final phase completion.
