This university needs thousands of housing units. A factory is building them
Briefly

California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo is facing a significant housing shortage driven by increasing student enrollment, projected to rise by 4,000 students by 2030. This growth has prompted the university to initiate a groundbreaking housing project, which will construct 4,200 new dormitory beds using modular construction techniques. The project, aiming for completion within four years, represents the largest modular housing effort in the nation and is crucial for accommodating the university's expansion amidst local housing constraints.
Cal Poly's located in this beautiful town of San Luis Obispo. That is one of our competitive advantages, but it also means that everybody else wants to live here, too.
It's really hard for us to grow without providing housing. The city simply can't absorb any of it. So that's what's driving our program.
This ambitious, fast-paced, and possibly precedent-setting dormitory building project will add 4,200 beds to the university's campus housing inventory within just four years.
The largest modular housing construction project in the country will be built through modular construction inside a factory in Los Angeles.
