A Town Hall information session will be held on
Tuesday, January 13th from 6-8pm to provide

neighbors to learn about healthy eating habits from
a UCSD dietician and dine on some nutritious food.

Illegal Pathway
Please be advised that the pathway behind Building
2 of OMS is not safe, and therefore its use is
prohibited. Because it is not an authorized walking
path, the fence blocking passage from it to La Jolla
Village Drive will remain in place. This fence is the
property of Cal Trans and cutting it is prohibited.
Thank you for your cooperation, as the safety of our
residents is the highest priority.
OMS Mail Room Hours
During the winter quarter, Mail Services will be
extending the mail room hours for your convenience.
The mail room will be open for package pick up
Monday through Friday 11am-6pm with a lunch
closure from 12-12:30pm each day.
maintenance updates
Here is the latest about maintenance projects around
the community:
• Water Conservation Project
Maintenance will be visiting each apartment to install
valve flowmeters on all apartment sinks and showers.
These valves will contribute to more than 13 million
gallons of water conserved annually. A notice will be
posted on your door indicating when maintenance will
enter.
The Grounds crew has been super busy spreading
mulch along the parking lot islands in North Mesa.
By turning off the backflows on two islands we have
closed 54 sprinklers. This will save 421,200 gallons
of water annually!
• Parking Lot Repairs
Parking lots at 9146, 9156, 9176 and the street side
of 9230 Mesa are being repaired, resurfaced, and
re-striped. Please abide by signage to make this
process go smoothly.

• Secure and lock your windows and doors.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Don’t leave valuable items in your car.
• Register your bike, and use a strong
u-lock to secure it.
• Utilize Campus Escorts to get home from
campus after dark.
Residential Security Officers (RSOs) are
here to assist you in the evenings when our
offices are closed. If you have a noise or
safety concern in the community, you may
contact Campus Police at 858-534-4357.
An RSO will be dispatched to respond to
the concern. Send your safety questions to
[email protected] and we will post the
answers in the newsletter.

Kyle and Antoinette Conway are two lovebirds who when
not nesting lead very different lives. Kyle is a third year
student at the School of Medicine. His favorite memory
at UCSD is playing table tennis with his classmates on
campus. After a long day at the hospital, Kyle enjoys sitting
down with a bottle of Moscato to some computer games
and Frasier reruns on Netflix. Antoinette works with various
mediums of art - photography, writing, dancing, singing, and
painting. The Conways enjoy fine dining, such as Denny’s,
the diverse tastes of Mexican/Southern fusion at combined
Taco Bell and KFC establishments, and to top it off, Krispy
Kreme when the “hot light” is on. When feeling athletic, they
enjoy playing tennis together at the Mesa tennis court. New building update
You may have heard that the University is in the early stages of planning a new community for
graduate, professional and parent students. In this new section of the newsletter we will work to
keep you up to date on the latest info. You may also visit:
hdh.ucsd.edu/arch/docs/FAQ_FutureCommunity.pdf
The Graduate and Professional Student Mixed-Use Housing (GPSMH) project received initial approval
by the UCOP Regents on November 18, 2014. The final selection of a Design/Build team was made
on December 11th and the project was awarded to Mithun/Hensel Phelps.
Mithun is an architectural firm based in San Francisco with experience in Campus Planning,
Academic Facilities and Student Life & Housing. You can see some of their work at http://mithun.
com/projects/type/higher_education/. Hensel Phelps will act as General Contractor and has an office
right in our backyard on Genesee Avenue. They have constructed many educational facilities which
you can see at http://www.henselphelps.com/about/locations.
Working group meetings will commence in January to refine design, identify amenities and finalize
the construction schedule. Student representatives will be included in these meetings.
Currently construction is scheduled to commence in approximately 1 year with demolition projected
to begin in September 2015.
The project will be located in North Mesa and will include approximately 1,100 new units:
850 - micro-apartments 40 - 1 bed/1 bath apartments
150 - 2 bed/1.5 bath apartments 40 – 3 bed/2 bath apartments
This new community will require the demolition of 11 buildings (3803 thru 3891) with 3 additional
buildings (3899-3911) being vacated, reducing the number of units in the community by 112. Through
the addition of the new property ARCH will net an estimated 1,000 additional units to accommodate
students on the Waitlist.
An email went out on 11/20/14 to all affected residents advising them of the relocation plan and
about two thirds of those residents have already been in contact with us. A reminder email will be
sent in January. All affected residents will be offered another apartment within an ARCH community
and ideally within North Mesa if that is still their preference.
A Town Hall information session will be held on January 13, 2015 from 6pm – 8pm in conjunction
with a presentation by the Strategic Residential Living and Learning workgroup. An email will be
sent out with details about the venue prior to the event. Food and adult beverages will be served.
We welcome your questions and/or suggestions for how to ensure that this project provides the
best for new residents and the current surrounding community! Feel free to send an email to
[email protected] or directly to the Graduate Student representatives Brandon Stevens and Cory
Stevenson at [email protected].
