UCLA to convert doubles into triples to house additional students
UCLA will convert double dorm rooms to triples to prepare for an increased enrollment of students in the 2016-2017 academic year… UCLA agreed to enroll 600 more freshmen and 150 more transfer students, said UCLA spokeswoman Rebecca Kendall in an email. The university has not decided which residential halls will have an increased number of triple rooms… At the January regents meeting, UC President Janet Napolitano launched a new student housing initiative, which aims to add approximately 14,000 beds to the dorms by 2020. The UC intends to accelerate the completion of housing projects in order to accommodate student enrollment increases, she said at the meeting… Brostrom said he expects the UC Board of Regents to approve plans to add 7,200 beds across the UC system by 2020 at the July regents meeting.
