Housing Study
During the spring of 2022, the District retained a student housing adviser to conduct a Student Housing Market Demand and Feasibility Analysis (Study). Through a collaborative investigative process including quantitative and qualitative data and engagement with District and College students, staff, and leadership, the Study quantified the demand for student housing. The demand analysis considered student preferences and cost tolerances to determine whether there would be enough demand and be financially feasible both with rents students could afford while also ensuring responsible building management and operation. The Study concluded significant demand for on-campus student housing exists at both Colleges.
