UC Student Housing Construction by the Numbers
- Built 37,000+ beds since 2016
- 13,000 beds under construction by 2030
- 9,000 beds are shovel ready
UC is ready to build but needs state investment. Across the UC system, 58% of students live off campus and rely on local rentals. Every additional bed on campus means less competition in nearby neighborhoods, making housing more affordable for everyone. The University has a strong record of delivering high-quality, affordable student housing, and these projects can advance quickly with financing.
