On-Campus Student Housing Coming to LTCC

With a successful construction bidding process behind it and a building contract now in place, Lake Tahoe Community College is moving ahead quickly with its on-campus student housing project. LTCC was able to move from receipt of nearly $40 million in state funding for the project to start of site development in under one year.

Development of the residential living site on the south side of campus began in May 2023, and the projected opening has been moved back by a few months to July 2025. When the doors open, this housing will serve full-time, income-qualifying California resident students. It will provide 100 beds in either double or single-room setups, with easy access to public transportation at LTCC’s Mobility Hub, and connecting bicycle and pedestrian paths heading both north and south of campus.

The facility will be approximately 32,000 sq. ft. with separate living units, shared community spaces, and close proximity to the college’s Student Center, which houses a commercial-grade kitchen and a large, open space for sit-down dining service.

LTCC established maximum rental amounts to ensure that income-qualifying students can access this housing. Rental price per occupant for a double room is $500/month, and a single room is priced at $795/month.
