Summary:
- UC Berkeley has reached the structural top floor milestone for its 1,100-bed dormitory complex at the former People’s Park site, with the 12-story North Wing and seven-story South Wing concrete frames completed and construction on schedule for a 2027 opening.
- The site remains secured behind a uniform beige-painted shipping container barrier installed after a police action cleared protesters in early 2024; facade work has begun on the North Wing, including installation of tan panels and windows.
- UC Berkeley is finalizing a development agreement with a new partner for a planned 100-unit supportive housing building on the west side of the site, following the withdrawal of a previous nonprofit amid ongoing legal disputes.
