Clark Adding Apartment-Style Residences to UC Riverside

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The University of California, Riverside, has awarded Clark Construction Group - California, LP, a $108 million contract to build the Glen Mor 2 Student Housing project. The 334,000 square-foot residential complex will connect to the school's existing Glen Mor 1 building on the east side of campus.

The Glen Mor 2 Student Housing project includes five, five-story apartment-style residence halls that altogether will accommodate approximately 800 students. The scope of work also includes constructing a three-level, 600-space low-profile parking structure and two pedestrian bridges connecting the two Glen Mor housing complexes. The Glen Mor 2 housing facility will have dedicated space for meeting rooms, a computer lab, and a fitness center. Clark will construct a resident services office building, a food emporium, and a swimming pool as an integral part of the complex.
