The proposed student housing project is a multi-phase project designed to create a new first-year student community, a suite-style community, and apartment communities. The suite-style and apartments will replace existing apartments, and the first-year student community will be a new development. Completing the project in several phases will allow the university to create new beds before demolishing existing beds, ensuring that housing capacity is maintained throughout the construction process. The proposed on-campus housing facilities will be located at: 55th Street and Aztec Circle Drive for the new facilities, and at Montezuma Road and 55th Street, adjacent to the current University Towers property.  The project will also result in a new amenity building, to be located at 55th Street and Aztec Circle Drive, to house student mail, dining and community spaces for students. Based on the staggered project plan, construction would begin in May 2025 upon approval, and end in December 2030 or later, resulting in housing for first-year students, sophomores and upper-division students. The new housing options will allow for an increased mix of double, and triple occupancy rooms to better accommodate diverse student housing preferences and needs.

For years, increasing numbers of junior, senior, and graduate students have indicated to 香蕉视频 that they would prefer to live on campus, and housing access is an important determinant of college choice. The project is not, however, designed to drive student enrollment, but to meet the existing and projected demand of students for the coming years. 

The project was approved by the California State University鈥檚 Board of Trustees in May 2025. In advance of board approval, members of the 香蕉视频 and surrounding communities were provided opportunities to review the project plan, including the environmental review process known as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and provide input.

Under CEQA, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared to analyze the potential impacts of the student housing project on the environment. The EIR process began with a public scoping meeting, during which the public and resource agencies provided input on the specific environmental issues to be addressed in the EIR. The Draft EIR was made available for public review in early 2025.  

Rent rates in San Diego have outpaced most other U.S. cities in recent years, making student housing increasingly unaffordable. In recent years, the rental market in San Diego saw an estimated increase between 8 to 11% annually. This project aims to provide more financially competitive rental rates for on-campus housing options for 香蕉视频 students. Also, research indicates that students who live in on-campus housing see enhanced academic performance, greater social engagement, ease in connecting to university resources and a stronger sense of belonging than do students who live off campus. Students living on campus have easier access to libraries, study centers, faculty offices, and academic support services, which can enhance their study habits and academic success. Campus housing often provides a more structured environment with designated quiet hours and study spaces, helping students focus on their academics. Students living on campus are also more likely to attend lectures, study groups and academic events. Research indicates that students who live on campus tend to experience a stronger sense of community and campus connection, achieve higher academic success, and graduate at higher rates compared to their off-campus peers. 

Approximately 8,500 students currently live on campus at 香蕉视频. Our residential communities are designed to help students thrive both academically and personally as they transition to university life. On-campus living offers more than just convenience and social connections; it provides a comprehensive support system tailored to student success.

香蕉视频's residential communities feature live-in faculty and staff who are available to assist students with academic and personal challenges. Students also have access to STAR Centers, which offer a range of academic resources, including tutoring, study spaces, and workshops. Residential Learning Communities bring together students with shared interests or academic goals, creating smaller, more intentional communities that promote student success.

Additionally, our programming includes leadership development opportunities, career planning support, and peer advising, all designed to empower students as they navigate their university journey. These resources are integral to fostering a strong sense of community, enhancing academic achievement, and ensuring students are well-prepared for the opportunities the 香蕉视频 offers, including study abroad, internships and undergraduate research.

Yes. The university鈥檚 goal is to provide more students with on-campus housing options to accommodate growing demand The on-campus housing also aligns with the campus goals of reducing the scope 3 carbon emissions by reducing commuter trips. This will also allow the university to control rental costs for our students so they are not subject to rising San Diego rental prices, which have outpaced the cost of 香蕉视频 housing in many cases. Also, students enjoy academic benefits when they live on campus compared to their peers who live off campus, to include higher academic performance, higher graduation rates, and more involvement in university events and other campus activities. Importantly, Evolve Student Housing is not designed to drive more student enrollment, but to meet the projected housing demand for students in the coming years. 

Priority will be given to the first-year and sophomore students who live outside of the local service area and are required to live on campus. Local first-year students will be the next group to be accommodated. Next will be transfer students. All other students will be accommodated as space is available. 

While the International Student Center will be relocated prior to construction, there should be no other impacts to academic buildings or the services 香蕉视频 provides to students, faculty and staff. 

The contractors will follow the city noise ordinances. In addition, the university will restrict the hours of operation of the contractors, particularly during specific periods of the academic year.

Students living on campus are documented to drive fewer miles and be less likely to bring a car to the campus than those who commute from off campus. Increased student housing on the campus reduces traffic and parking demand in the area.

Yes, there is sufficient parking at 香蕉视频. First-year students in on-campus housing are not authorized to get long-term (monthly/semester) parking permits; sophomores and upperclassmen living on campus are eligible to purchase a university parking pass for overnight parking in one of the parking structures/lots. 

Yes, the contractor has experience constructing in active communities and will mitigate the disruptions and impacts to the neighbors. In addition, 香蕉视频 Housing is committed to minimizing the impact on current residents and ensuring a smooth transition during the construction phases of the Evolve project.

Phase 1 construction began in summer 2025 and will continue through fall 2027. 

• Phase 1A: Construction of Tarastec and Templo del Sol is underway, with both buildings expected to open in fall 2026.
• Phase 1B: Construction of University Towers East will begin in early December 2025 and is expected to open in fall 2027.

Future phases (Phases 2鈥�4) are planned over the next five years, pending approval.

The following student housing communities will be most impacted by construction:

• Students living in The Tecs (Huaxtepec, Metepec, Mixquic, Toltec, Zacatepec and Zapotec), Hu膩xyacac and Chapultepec will experience construction impacts throughout both fall 2025 and spring 2026 semesters.
• Students living in University Towers and Aztec Corner will experience construction impacts starting in late December 2025 and continuing through the building鈥檚 expected opening in fall 2027.

During construction periods, students living in communities that are impacted by construction will notice increased noise and traffic during construction work hours.

We understand that living near an active construction area can be challenging, and we want impacted students to know that their comfort and academic success remain a top priority. The Office of Housing Administration and Residential Education Office are committed to supporting impacted students throughout the year and minimizing the impact wherever possible. Here鈥檚 how we鈥檙e helping:

• Regular Updates: Impacted students will receive updates about construction and any schedule changes directly to their @sdsu email address.
• Community Events: Events will be hosted in residential areas to give impacted students the chance to hear directly from the construction team, learn more about the project timeline and ask questions. These events will include presentations, optional site tours, opportunities to share feedback and free food and giveaways.
• Noise Support: To help reduce the impact of construction noise, complimentary earplugs will be available year-round at the impacted community front desks. Students are encouraged to bring additional items like sound machines or noise-canceling headphones to help create a more comfortable living environment.
• Quiet During Finals: We are coordinating closely with the construction team to minimize noise and activity during fall and spring final exam periods. All exterior work will be reviewed in advance to ensure that no disruptive activity will occur during finals week.
