Furniture and equipment are being moved into USC Village this month, signaling how close the project is to completion. The $700M project is on schedule to be ready for students in the fall.
Covering 15 acres, USC Village will have 1.25M SF across six buildings and 2,700 beds for students, Building Design + Construction Magazine reports.
It will include eight residential colleges and 100K SF of retail space for 30 tenants, including Starbucks, Target and Trader Joe’s, restaurants and a 30K SF fitness center.
There will be parking for at least 1,200 bikes.
The buildings and a central power plant are designed by HED and constructed by Hathaway Dinwiddie.
The construction process began three years ago and prefabrication helped save almost a year of the construction process.
