| At the
1998 Strategic Planning Conference 70 H&RS
staff, students and campus administrators came up with eight
vision statements designed to help us transition smoothly into
the 21st century. One of our visions was to have “world
class facilities” by achieving excellence in all of our
housing venues. We are currently involved in a facility investment
strategy that will renew our existing housing stock and increase
the housing available to the UCSB student community. We expect
new and upgraded facilities that will set a 21st century standard
for residential living and learning. Our investment strategy
has allowed us to respond effectively to the needs of the student
housing community, while maintaining rates at below market levels.
The magnitude of our capital program will create a larger organization
and physical plant over a very short span of time. Our goal
will be to maintain our health and vitality as an organization
as we continue to provide resources that fulfill our value of
quality service. |

| Sierra Madre Apartments |
| The Sierra Madre Apartments
will add to our complement of family student residences. Sierra
Madre is located on UCSB’s North Campus, and will consist
of 151 three-bedroom units, a housing type that is not currently
in the mix of family student housing offerings. We expect to
occupy Sierra Madre by the fall of 2007. |

| Renewal & Seismic Projects |
| A series of renewal projects
will address compliance with UC guidelines and other physical
deficiencies, including seismic and fire safety. The goal is
to modernize each facility’s physical plant to current
standards as benchmarked to the best practices of our field.
Included in the renewals are Francisco Torres Hall, De La Guerra
Dining Commons, San Miguel Hall, and San Nicolas Hall. The Francisco
Torres and De La Guerra renewals were completed in fall 2004.
The San Miguel renewal will be completed in fall 2006, and San
Nicolas in the fall of 2007. |

| Affordable Housing |
|
| Our campus’ long-term success
is dependent on our ability to provide affordable housing opportunities
to enroll and retain the best students, and recruit and retain
the best faculty and staff. With this in mind H&RS launched
a housing master planning process that is identifying housing
needs, goals and potential solutions through the year 2020.
This process gives H&RS the ability to explore available
options that provide quality living environments for UCSB students,
faculty and staff. The Master Plan for Housing is currently
being developed with the assistance of Urban Design Associates
(UDA). The plan is expected to be available in the summer of
2005. |
