The City College Affordable Student Housing project addresses the need of the San Diego Community College District for affordable student housing. The development replaces a vacant urban block with a 7-story building of 283 units (797 beds). The student housing program offers a mix of unit types including studios, 2-bedroom apartments, and 4-bedroom suites and apartments. Shared amenities that promote socialization and academic support are concentrated on the ground floor; each level shares a laundry room, study space, and vending lounge. The top level features an indoor sky lounge with views of the city. Green street design elements contribute to a walkable community that connects to the adjacent campus. Two courtyards provide outdoor socialization space for the students while indoor ground floor amenities activate the street front. DSA will conduct the plan check review, and the project team is using the informal collaborative process to engage DSA and solicit their feedback during the design and documentation phases.
