UCR has partnered with American Campus Communities on the North District project, a multiphase redevelopment project that is anticipated to deliver approximately 4,000 to 6,000 new student housing beds upon completion of the final phase of development.

Phase I includes 1,500 apartment-style housing units across two buildings. The 546,000-square-foot phase also includes two seminar rooms with 32 seats each, one 125-seat multipurpose room, student lounges, laundry, up to 180 bike parking spaces, and approximately  600 additional parking spaces. The first phase of construction is set to open in Fall 2021.

Subsequent phases will be completed based on project demand and financial feasibility. Ultimately, the project is intended to provide residence hall housing for first year students and apartment housing for second year students, transfer students, upper division undergraduate students, and graduate students.
