Cal Poly is building 33 faculty and staff housing units at the corner of Slack Street and Grand Avenue, with the first units expected to be completed by fall 2025.

The project, called Vista Meadows, aims to improve access to employee housing and assist the university in hiring and retaining faculty and staff, according to University Spokesperson Aaron Lambert.

Each unit will feature a two-car garage, fully equipped kitchens, a living area and energy-saving appliances, according to the project website. Prices are planned to be below market value but are still being finalized, Lambert said.
