Sproul Landing & Bruin Plate University of California-Los Angeles Northwest Campus Housing Los Angeles, California Share: Our involvement with UCLA and the Northwest Campus continued for over a decade, beginning with the development of an overall master plan for the 35-acre site. With land at a premium and a commitment to offer housing to all incoming students, UCLA recognized the need to significantly increase density in this area of campus while also creating a student-focused precinct, combining living and learning in an integrated and dynamic environment. Transforming the 1960s “towers in the park,” our focus was not only on the architectural design of several new residence halls but also, perhaps equally important, “knitting together” the ground plane of existing and new buildings, public spaces and open space, creating a seamless integration between new and old, inside and outside. The buildings’ architecture is both contemporary and sustainable but also in keeping with the scale and massing of the original 1960’s towers, creating a harmonious grouping. The seven new residence halls provide more than 2,500 student beds, a 650-seat dining commons, a conference center, two boutique cafés, fitness facilities, study spaces and instructional space.
