UCLA plans 19-story tower for student housing

AL SEIB For The Times

THE UCLA campus, shown last month, touts housing as a selling point for students it hopes to attract.

UCLA, which has been on a campaign to vastly expand student housing around it is Westwood campus, is planning a new 19-story tower that 1,150 students can call home.

Housing has long been a challenge for UCLA students, who have had limited options on campus and faced a pricey housing market in Westwood and nearby neighborhoods.

In 2022, UCLA announced that it would become the first and only University of California campus to guarantee housing for four years to first-year students and two years for transfer students. The campus now touts housing as a selling point for students it hopes to attract.
