UCSB San Benito Student Housing project, located on the main UC Santa Barbara campus, is envisioned as a new LEED Platinum residential community, providing student apartments with a range of amenities. Located on roughly 6.6 acres of developable area and surrounded by a sizable Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (“ESHA”), the sloping topography will incorporate native plantings and preserve the protected landscape. The current program goals are to provide an estimated 2,250 student beds, retail dining, and various support spaces, in approximately 700,000 gross square feet across multiple buildings. In addition to the site and utility connections, the UCSB San Benito Student Housing project will make improvements to adjacent roads, parking, and bike paths
