Projects Under Environmental Review
Project Name	901 Levering Student Housing
Description	901 LEVERING STUDENT HOUSING PROJECT Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration State Clearinghouse No. 2025110587 The proposed Project involves the construction of an approximately 310,000 square foot (SF), 19-story student housing building for UCLA undergraduate students on an approximately 0.74-acre Project site located at 901 Levering Avenue adjacent to the UCLA campus. Five existing University-owned two- and three-level apartment buildings with 42 units and 52 beds, totaling 23,952 SF, would be demolished. The proposed Project would provide up to 1,150 beds within a combination of one-, two-, three, and primarily four-bedroom units. The proposed Project would include common courtyard and terrace areas oriented towards Levering Avenue, as well as a lobby/lounge, office, laundry facilities, a mail/package room, a vending area, an outdoor covered fitness area, bicycle parking, and study rooms. There would also be spaces for housekeeping and maintenance, mechanical equipment, and trash collection. On-site vehicular parking for residents and guests would not be provided. A loading/parking area accessed from Levering Avenue would provide two parking spaces for service vehicles, deliveries, and trash removal. Pedestrian access to the proposed building would be provided from a main entry courtyard on Levering Avenue and from a secondary entrance on Level 4 at Weyburn Place. New utilities would be installed onsite and would connect to existing utility infrastructure surrounding the site. The Project would achieve at minimum a LEED Gold rating and strive for a Platinum rating. Earthwork necessary for building construction would require excavation to a maximum depth of approximately 52.5 feet, as measured from the Weyburn Place elevation, and require the net export of approximately 60,900 cubic yards of soil. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026, with completion in 2030. An Initial Study (IS) for the proposed Project has been prepared. Based upon the analysis presented in the IS, it has been determined that with the incorporation of mitigation measures, the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is proposed for adoption. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a 30-day public review period extended from November 12 through December 12, 2025. Additionally, a virtual public meeting regarding the Project was held on Thursday, November 20, 2025. The project was approved by the UC Regents on March 18, 2026.

Project Name	5210 Pacific Concourse Dr. Tenant Improvements
Description	UCLA HEALTH SPORTS MEDICINE INSTITUTE PROJECT (5210 PACIFIC CONCOURSE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS) Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration State Clearinghouse No. 2025111040 The proposed Project involves the adaptive reuse of an existing approximately 170,000-gross-square-foot (gsf) two-story life sciences building located at 5210 Pacific Concourse Drive in unincorporated Los Angeles County (County). The proposed Project would create a new Sports Medicine Institute, relocate an off-campus UCLA Health Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, and include a community fill pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, café, conference room, administrative offices, storage, and other support spaces. In addition to the tenant improvements for these uses, the proposed Project includes improvements to the building mechanical and utility systems, accessibility improvements, safety and security upgrades, new electric vehicle chargers, and minor modifications to the existing landscaping and surface parking. The Project would achieve at minimum a LEED ID+C Certified rating and would strive to achieve a LEED Gold rating. Earthwork necessary for utility trenching and limited grading would generally be on the order of a few inches to a few feet, but not be deeper than approximately 7 feet, and would require the net export of approximately 150 cubic yards of soil. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026, with completion in 2028. An Initial Study (IS) for the proposed Project has been prepared. Based upon the analysis presented in the IS, it has been determined that with the incorporation of mitigation measures, the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is proposed for adoption. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a 30-day public review period extended from November 21 through December 22, 2025. Additionally, a virtual public meeting regarding the Project was held on Wednesday, December 10, 2025. The project was approved by the UC Regents on March 18, 2026.

Project Name	Los Angeles Tennis Center Seismic Remediation
Description	LOS ANGELES TENNIS CENTER SEISMIC REMEDIATION PROJECT Public Notice of Pending Delegated Approval The project involves seismic and other program improvements within 59,468 gross square feet (gsf) (54,351 assignable square feet [asf]) in the Los Angeles Tennis Center (LATC), located on campus at 420 Charles E. Young Drive West. The proposed project would improve LATC’s Seismic Performance Rating from VI to IV or better to enhance safety and ensure compliance with the University of California (UC) Seismic Safety Policy. Accessibility and code-compliance improvements triggered by the seismic work are included in the project, along with upgrades to address waterproofing and drainage deficiencies. Seismic improvements would include adding grade beams with battered micropiles at strategic locations throughout the stadium; adding one additional grade beam without micropiles to the foundation near the first floor offices; adding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening to the top of the concourse slab at the northwest and southwest corners of the grandstand seating; adding strips of FRP along the horizontal and vertical edge joints of the precast concrete seating tiers; and replacing eroded soil under the west grandstand with concrete slurry to cover the caissons and ensure the integrity of the foundation. Accessibility and code compliance improvements would include upgrades to the west restrooms; removing the existing aluminum benches for seismic work, replacing them with new benches, and widening the stepped access aisles; adding accessible seating areas at the concourse level; adding and replacing drinking fountains; adding and modifying handrails and guardrails at the stepped seating aisles; replacing the fire sprinkler backflow preventer; and installing any missing signage required for the existing Fire Department connection. Additional improvements would include repairing existing waterproofing and replacing a second floor terrace surface above the first floor offices; adding waterproofing to the western exterior wall of the first floor offices; and replacing Level 1 trench drains with a larger-capacity system to mitigate flooding during heavy rains. Construction is anticipated to begin in March 2027 and be complete in December 2027. There would be no change in floor area or use as a result of this project. In accordance with established UC procedures, the Chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles will consider approval of the Los Angeles Tennis Center Seismic Remediation Project pursuant to a delegation of authority from the UC Regents and UC President. Approval is anticipated no sooner than April 2026. The purpose of this notice is to advise the public of the proposed approval action for the project.
