American Campus Communities, UC Irvine Begin Construction of 1,441-Bed Residence Hall

IRVINE, CALIF. — American Campus Communities and the University of California, Irvine, have broken ground on a 1,441-bed, on-campus residential building and a bike storage facility.

This marks the beginning of Phase IV of the partnership’s on-campus development plan. The past three phases of development have brought a total of 5,162 units to the campus. Benchmark Contractors, a subsidiary of Morley Builders, was the general contractor for the past three phases on UCI’s campus, and is moving forward with a design-assist approach for the new large development. KTGY is the architect for the project. The development is set to open at the end of summer 2019.
