UCI STUDENT HOUSING

The UCI Student Housing project is the second phase of a large student-housing push for the University of California in Irvine.

This project was challenging due to restrictive existing site grades. Providing both amenity access for students and fire access dictated much of the design.

The close proximity of the buildings and their heights also gave the access spaces a cramped feeling. Using 3D models of the overall design and the detailing allowed us to provide the best plant design to provide that open space campus feel while providing the types of spaces students seek.
