Orchard Park
The Orchard Park Project will provide 200 affordable, two-bedroom apartment units to serve 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis students with families, replacing a like number of apartments on the site that closed in 2014. 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis also is seeking an additional 700 beds for single graduate students, but developers are strongly encouraged to submit proposals that exceed the target.

In total, this project will serve at least 900 students (plus family members), four times the number of students it had previously accommodated.
West Village
