"UC Berkeley is set to break ground within the next few weeks on a 23-story dorm that would be one of the tallest buildings in Berkeley. Aimed primarily at freshmen, the 1,625-bed Bancroft-Fulton Student Housing will contain a fitness center, music rooms, outdoor terraces and a 500-seat dining hall. It's part of a push by UC Berkeley to provide more on-campus housing as the university's population continues to grow, with a record 46,151 students enrolled this year."
"Construction is scheduled to begin either the last week of January or the first week of February, Facchini said. Scheduled to be completed in 2028, the new dorm will rise 283 feet from the corner of Bancroft Avenue and Fulton Street, second in height only to Berkeley's iconic 307-foot Campanile. The city has also approved several other 20-plus-story housing towers, including a 312-foot behemoth at the corner of Shattuck and University, but those have yet to break ground,"
UC Berkeley will break ground soon on the 23-story Bancroft-Fulton Student Housing, a 1,625-bed dorm aimed primarily at freshmen. The building will include a fitness center, music rooms, outdoor terraces and a 500-seat dining hall, and will add significant bed capacity as enrollment reaches a record 46,151 students. Construction is planned to start in late January or early February with completion targeted for 2028, and the tower will rise 283 feet, second only to the 307-foot Campanile. The dorm will offer a mix of singles, doubles and triples with rents comparable to existing campus housing and a mandatory meal plan.
