The Poly Canyon Village project is currently running on time and within the budget and is scheduled to open by fall 2009.
The complex will consist of nine buildings and two parking structures, and the project is split into two phases: Phase 1 consists of the first four buildings; Phase 2 will see the construction of the rest.
Scott Bloom, Cal Poly project manager for Facilities Planning and Capital Projects, said that the project is coming along at a good pace.
“We will be completing Phase 1 in June 2008,” Bloom said. “The second phase will be completed by June 2009.”
Poly Canyon Village will feature many improved features to on-campus housing, including courtyards, a small wading pool, common rooms and computer service.
“Each courtyard and the pool area will have access to Wi-Fi service,” Bloom said. “Inside the buildings, there will be hardwire connection in each bedroom.” He added that Building A will have a knowledge center with computer-oriented technology.
The overall budget for the project is $300 million and the contract with the university totaled just under $240 million.
