East Campus Student Housing: PCL ELECTRICAL BID PACKAGE NO. BP-01 (Prequalified Subs ONLY)

GENERAL PROJECT DESCIPTION: The Student Housing Infill & Redevelopment Project will provide much needed student housing and student life amenities to undergraduates to meet the residential need of the campus for 3,500 new beds outlined in the University’s Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The project will be accomplished in two phases on two distinct sites. The first phase, San Benito Student Housing, will provide approximately 2,225 beds and will be located on the current Facilities Management Site (FM Site) with a planned occupancy for the Fall quarter of 2027. The second phase, East Campus, will provide a separate residential facility for 1,687 beds integrated amongst the existing East Campus residential halls, with a planned opening for the Fall 2029 quarter. These 1,690 beds include 1,278 new beds to reach the 3,500 total new beds in conjunction with San Benito plus 412 residence hall beds to replace the Santa Rosa residence hall being displaced by the project. Of the new beds, 705 will be provided in traditional apartments similar to those in San Benito and the remaining 573 will be in apartment suites, a more efficient floor plan that encourages social interactions to occur primarily outside of the units.
