The University of California, Riverside will begin construction in summer of 2024 on the Undergraduate Teaching & Learning Facility. Offering a seating capacity of 1,700, the $156.3 million building will provide much-needed instructional space for multiple colleges and departments. The 100,700-gsf structure will accommodate two lecture halls, 19 classrooms, six biology labs, and four chemistry labs. An expanded dance studio with a sprung floor will be complemented by an outdoor performance area.
Responses from a 1,600-person campus planning survey informed the selection of space types in the building. Faculty expressed a desire for more small group settings, shaping the decision to include only two lecture halls seating 125 and 150 people respectively. Architectural firm AC Martin created the Basis of Design (BOD) document for the project, which is slated for completion in summer of 2026.
