Project Name: University of Washington Student Housing


Proponent: University of Washington


Description of Proposal: To provide new student housing opportunities on the campus, the University of Washington proposes that new housing facilities be constructed in the West Sector of campus to create a vibrant student residential community. The development of the new housing would occur over an approximately four-year time period and would be divided into two phases: Phase IA and IB. The development would include both dormitory-style residence halls and single-student apartments.


Phase IA would entail the development of three new residence hall facilities and a new student apartment facility. The three new residence hall facilities would be developed on CMP-Seattle 2003 Sites 32W, 33W and 35W and would accommodate from approximately 1,342 to 2,216 new residence hall beds. Each of the three residence hall facilities would include residence hall program space, retail, academic or office space on the ground level with residence hall bedrooms on the levels above. Site 31W would be developed with single-student apartments and would accommodate from approximately 300 to 386 students. Open space, public space and landscaping would also be integrated through the housing sites to create a live, learn, work and play campus atmosphere. Demolition of some existing onsite buildings and parking lots would be required as part of the Proposed Action. Replacement parking for a portion of the spaces on Site 31W (Lot W2) would be provided on Site 31W. It is also proposed that two alleys be vacated on Sites 32W ad 35W to accommodate Phase IA development.


Phase IB would entail the development of two new apartment facilities on CMP-Seattle 2003 Sites 29W/42W and 30 W which would provide approximately 1,175 to 1,280 new apartment beds. Development on Site 29W/42W would be a multi-building facility. Parking would be accommodated over time through a combination of new spaces within the Phase IA and IB sites, utilizing existing parking capacity in other areas of the campus, and/or other arrangements wi6th the University of Washington Commuter Services.


It is anticipated that Phase IA housing would be available for occupancy in Fall 2012 and Phase IB housing would be available for occupancy in Fall 2013.


Location of Proposal: All Projects are located in the West Campus (29W, 30W, 31W, 32W, 33W, and 35W) an area bounded by NE Pacific Street on the south, University Bridge and 11th Avenue NE on the West, NE 41st on the north (except for site 31W which is on the north side of NE 41st between 11th Ave. NW and 12th Avenue NE, and University Way NE on the east).
