Construction Impact
As part of SDSU’s Evolve Student Housing project, the demolition of Tarastec and the International Student Center will begin in summer 2025 to make way for a new on-campus residential community and amenity building. The project is part of SDSU’s strategic priority to offer additional and financially competitive on-campus student housing.
Construction is scheduled to start at the end of the spring 2025 semester. During construction, residents of The Tecs (Huaxtepec, Metepec, Mixquic, Toltec, Zacatepec and Zapotec) and Huaxyacac will experience construction noise between 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Impacted residents will receive more detailed updates via email once construction begins. For more information and ongoing updates, please visit Construction, Renovation and Improvement Projects.
