The $200 million student housing complex will increase university student housing by 50%.
Sacramento, Calif. (June 5, 2023) – Sundt Construction joined Cal Poly Humboldt and SCB Architects this month in a groundbreaking celebration for a new residence hall complex for Cal Poly Humboldt, the largest student housing project in the university’s history.
“Sundt has a long history of building student housing complexes for the California State University system, and we’re looking forward to bringing our experience to Cal Poly Humboldt,” said Sean Falvey, vice president and Sacramento regional director for Sundt. “Providing quality, affordable housing for students, with modern amenities, gives them the opportunity to thrive in their college experience.”
The 964-bed Cal Poly Humboldt Student Housing Project will offer two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments with common lounges, study areas, conference spaces, computer and TV rooms, on-site laundry and a fitness center. Environmentally sustainable features of the complex include all electric systems, high-efficiency irrigation, water-efficient plumbing, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, durable exterior building materials and electric vehicle charging stations. Once complete in 2025, the Student Housing Project will increase the university’s student housing by nearly 50 percent.
The $200 million project is a progressive design-build project led by Sundt Construction and SCB Architects.
