The Los Angeles campus proposes to construct the 901 Levering Student Housing project. The site, purchased by UCLA in May 2024, currently consists of five aging residential buildings with 42 apartment units. This project will demolish the existing buildings and construct a 19-story building with approximately 145 apartments, totaling roughly 310,000 gross square feet. The project will provide approximately 1,130 new undergraduate student beds in predominantly fourbedroom (double occupancy) units. The proposed building will be a Type I high-rise concrete structure. Exterior materials will include a prefabricated curtainwall panel system with fiber cement or ultra-high-performance concrete, metal panels, and punched window components. Exterior materials at the building base will include curtain wall and storefront systems, integral color cement plaster, and architectural-grade exposed structural concrete. The project will connect to municipal utilities, including domestic water, fire water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater. Electrical and telecommunications utilities are anticipated to connect to the University’s campus loop. The project will include an outdoor terrace, entry, and rear courtyards, enclosed on all sides and open to the sky, as well as other landscape and hardscape elements. A service drive accessed from Levering Avenue, located at the southeast corner of the building, will provide direct access for maintenance and service vehicles, deliveries, and trash removal. On-site alternative transportation facilities will include ground-level bicycle storage and a designated scooter parking area. Pedestrian access will be provided from the existing sidewalk on the west side of Levering Avenue and via a street-level connection at Weyburn Place on the building's fourth level.
