New Sequoia

Elements of UC Berkeley’s housing plans remain uncertain as campus awaits public health guidance to determine its capacity for the next academic year.

Campus spokesperson Adam Ratliff said that the new master leases are intended to increase this number by about 665 beds for both undergraduate and graduate students by 2023, with 254 beds to be provided by the 2018-19 academic year as two new building projects are developed.

Mezzo, formerly known as Cafe Intermezzo, and Raleigh’s restaurants at the intersection of Haste Street and Telegraph Avenue reopened June 27 after a fire destroyed both restaurants in November 2011.

Berkeley residents searching for housing can expect new units near Telegraph Avenue to be available for lease this March, as the New Sequoia apartment complex opens its doors.
