Current & Upcoming Projects
Taylor Science and Engineering Building
Design and construct a new academic building, the Edward (Ted) Taylor Science and Engineering Building (#52), to support growing programs in the College of Science, including Marine Science and the new Mechatronics (Engineering) program. The project will include approximately 4,400 Assignable Square Feet (ASF) of space, developed in partnership with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) under NOAA. The building will consolidate teaching labs, research facilities, and administrative offices, featuring new laboratories for Marine Science and Mechatronics Engineering, along with shared spaces for both programs. The second floor will accommodate NOAA offices, the Mechatronics Engineering suite, and a Marine Science graduate student area.

Gavilan Hall Bldg 201 Project Update: Entering Schematic Design Phase

The steering committee for the Gavilan Hall Bldg 201 refurbishment project has successfully completed the feasibility phase. We are now moving into the schematic design phase. This marks a significant step forward in transforming the building into a modern dormitory space. The committee is working closely with architects and stakeholders to refine the design and ensure it aligns with both the university’s goals and the needs of future residents. An exciting feature of the design will be a community quad space, designed to encourage interaction and collaboration among residents. Stay tuned for further updates as the project progresses.
