The University of California, Berkeley, has issued an RFQ for the transformation of 26 acres at its University Village in Albany to a $100-million, mixed-use residential and retail campus. The University hopes to begin construction by early 2003 at the site, where currently student and faculty housing, a community center, baseball fields, and university agricultural research space are located. The selected developer will be asked to improve the community center and baseball fields, build a child and infant care center, and protect as open space two creeks running through the site. The residential facilities are expected to be funded by the commercial aspects of the project.
