Oakland, Calif.
The University of California is planning to consolidate administrative operations with a new location in Oakland, Calif. Current plans for providing the approximately 400,000 sf the UC system seeks range from leasing existing space to new construction. The planned facility will enable the UC system to consolidate leased space for its administrative Office of the President, now located in 171,000 sf spread throughout four sites in Oakland and one in Berkeley. The site selection process is expected to reach completion by year-end 2005, with plans for occupancy beginning as the university's existing leases expire in 2007 through 2010.
