Student Housing has a strong commitment to the constant betterment of our facilities, with a number of goals in mind, including, but definitely not limited to: student comfort (heating systems, furnishings, carpet, etc.), health and safety (such as seismic upgrades, fire prevention and suppression, etc.), and energy/water use efficiency (double-paned windows, low flow fixtures, solar panel trials, etc.).
Below you’ll find information about current and future Student Housing projects, as well as campus projects which directly impact our residents. Further information about major projects across campus is available on the Land, Building and Real Estate Capital Projects page.
Construction, renovation, and repair projects will necessarily cause increased noise around directly involved and nearby residences, as well as throughout other housing areas. While all possible measures are taken to minimize the impact of these projects, any student moving into or living in affected areas should be prepared to accept the unavoidable aspects of life in a neighborhood under construction. Continual inspections and work may occur in and around your residence prior to and up to a year after a major construction or renovation project. Some students may be required to move to different rooms/apartments or temporarily vacate their current rooms while work is underway.
FOOTNOTE: This web page is updated periodically. Other projects may also be undertaken both in the areas of scheduled projects and in areas that have not yet been designated.

2011-2012 Housing Renovation Projects
Lyman Renovation Project
The project begun in Lyman in 2010-11 will continue on to Building 3 in 2011-12. Beginning Winter Quarter 2012 and lasting through Summer 2012, we plan to replace all the flooring (carpet, vinyl, etc.) and repaint each apartment in Building Three. We will start with this project in January and should finish by the end of August. Students living in this building will shift apartments one time during the project.
