Evolve Student Housing

evolve overview

Evolve Student Housing is a transformative, multi-phase construction project that will provide enhanced and financially competitive on-campus housing options for students at San Diego State University.

Phase 1A and 1B—currently underway—will add approximately 1,370 student beds. Phase 2 will begin after the completion of the spring 2026 semester, adding approximately 760 additional student beds. Future phases (Phases 3 and 4), planned over the next four years and pending approval by the California State University Board of Trustees, will add additional student beds.

The phased approach ensures housing continuity, with new facilities completed before decommissioning older units.

The project is part of SDSU’s strategic priority to offer additional and financially competitive on-campus student housing, as students who live on campus have higher academic achievement rates than those who live off campus. This project marks a major step forward in meeting the evolving needs of our campus community.

We remain committed to providing students with transparent updates regarding Evolve Student Housing and encourage you to regularly visit the Evolve Student Housing webpage for updates.
