Construction underway for more dorm rooms at UC Merced

MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) -- Big changes are underway on the UC Merced campus.

Construction crews are using bulldozers and other heavy equipment to build more dorm rooms.

In 2023, the university received $100 million from the state for "Promise Housing."

The project will offer 488 rooms to income-qualified students.

It's expected to be finished in the Fall of 2027.
