Kresge College 2024 Renewal is in the works.
UC Santa Cruz students head to class this week along Porter-Kresge Road as Kresge College is rebuilt behind them. The college was founded in the early 1970s and according to a press release from UCSC, was designed with “concepts of collaboration and participatory democracy at the core of its identity.” Kresge is being rebuilt in a two-phase project and the first phase, which included three new residence halls and a new academic center, has already been completed. The second phase is expected to be completed late this year. Kresge was the sixth college established at UCSC and was named after Kresge Foundation and K-Mart founder Sebastian Kresge. San Francisco-based architecture firm Studio Gang received the Honor Award for the Kresge College renewal project at the San Francisco chapter of the American Institute of Architects’ 2024 Architecture Awards.
