Welcome
West Village will be a dynamic mixed-use community providing opportunities for students, faculty and staff to live locally and participate fully in the life of the campus.
Announcement - August 10, 2009 |
At full build-out, West Village will be an approximately 220-acre new mixed-use district integrating student, faculty and staff housing and educational facilities, all centered on a civic village square.
It will incorporate affordable housing in a neighborhood setting, strengthen on-campus involvement, and create a distinctive place to live in a pedestrian-oriented, bike-friendly environment.
The West Village is based on three core principles:
- Housing Affordability - provide new housing for faculty and staff offered at below market prices, and expand the choices for student rental apartments
- Environmental Responsiveness - integrate sustainable design into the site plan and building designs to enable those living in West Village to reduce their reliance on the automobile, limit energy consumption, and enjoy the benefits of the local climate in a healthy environment
- Quality of Place - create a network of open spaces, parks, gardens, pathways and courtyards that promote the attributes and character of traditional Davis neighborhoods.
