Summary:
- Construction is officially underway on UC Berkeley’s most ambitious student housing project in recent memory, and one that will permanently reshape the city’s skyline. The Bancroft-Fulton Residence Hall, a 23-story high-rise at the corner of Bancroft Way and Fulton Street, is set to become the tallest building in Berkeley.
- The building broke ground in January and is expected to welcome its first residents in fall 2028. Once complete, the tower will serve as housing for 1,625 students in a mix of single, double and triple rooms; it will also have five staff and faculty apartments.
- Undergraduates will have access to a host of amenities in the building, including a fitness center, a wellness studio, music rooms, meeting spaces, a 500-seat dining area and a sweeping terrace on the third floor.
