"This project has been in development since 2018, when our former Chancellor, Carol Christ, really took the initiative to create a new vision and future for People's Park," UC Berkeley spokesperson Kyle Gibson said. "Through an extensive amount of community engagement and planning, [we] put together a very comprehensive plan to really meet the needs of the community. The nonprofit developer will now finalize the project's plans and will present them to the university."
"We are delighted to have found in UC Investments a responsible and mission-aligned steward for our beautiful and historically significant campus property," NDNU President Beth Martin said.
