2020 Project Move Planning

The Merced 2020 Campus Expansion will be delivered in three phases between Fall 2018 and Fall 2020. 

The Merced 2020 Campus Expansion will nearly double the amount of physical space available to the campus.   However, the efficient use of space must remain an ongoing strategic priority  if UC Merced is to meet its goals for supporting faculty and student success in the years and decades ahead.
