Construction Impact
As part of SDSU’s Evolve Student Housing project, construction is underway on Metepec, a new residential community. Construction will continue throughout the 2026-27 academic year. Metepec is expected to open in spring 2028.
The project is part of SDSU’s strategic priority to offer additional and financially competitive on-campus student housing.
Huaxyacac is located near the construction area, and residents will receive communications to their SDSU email regarding construction hours, expected noise levels and any changes to the project schedule. For more information, visit the Evolve Student Housing webpage.
