"Housing has long been a challenge for UCLA students, who have had limited options on campus and faced a pricey housing market in Westwood and nearby neighborhoods. In 2022, UCLA announced that it would become the first and only University of California campus to guarantee housing for four years to first-year students and two years for transfer students. The campus now touts housing as a selling point for students it hopes to attract."
""Residential housing allows us to better ensure that every student gets a good start and is therefore more likely to be successful. So we wanted to give every student an option of having four years," UCLA's then-Chancellor Gene Block said in 2022. "That was the dream and it's finally coming true." The latest new housing complex, recently revealed in a draft environmental study, calls for a 19-story student housing building for UCLA undergraduate students at 901 Levering Ave., adjacent to the school campus."
UCLA has campaigned to expand student housing around its Westwood campus and is planning a 19-story tower at 901 Levering Ave. The proposed building would provide up to 1,150 beds in one-, two-, three- and primarily four-bedroom units. The cross-shaped tower is designed by Mithun and would include common courtyard and terrace areas oriented toward Levering Avenue. On-site parking for residents and guests would not be provided. Five existing university-owned apartment buildings totaling 52 beds would be demolished to make way for the new building. Work could begin as early as next year and be completed by 2030.
