Tenders Are Invited for 901 Levering Student Housing (bp 03 - Shoring/mass Excavation)
(opens in New Tab, Pdf)
General Description: 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 four-bedroom (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 hard-scape 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. The Project shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable
Practices and achieve a minimum LEED – NC Gold Certification rating.
