UC Irvine – Verano 8 Graduate Student Housing

OVERVIEW
Located on a 7.8-acre site, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Verano 8 Graduate Student Housing project will provide housing for 1,050 residents, a multi-level parking garage, and a new community building. The goal of this design-build project is to address the need for affordable housing, satisfy housing guarantees, and provide residence options for UCI’s growing graduate student population. Langan is developing a hydrology and hydraulic study to compare and address pre-development conditions, providing plan preparation for site utilities, and conducting a supplemental topographic survey. We are also performing subsurface explorations and developing customized foundation design recommendations to allow the building to straddle a 96-inch diameter storm drain that traverses the site.
