Learn about the LRDP project

UC Santa Cruz has prepared this web site in order to keep members of the campus community and public informed about UCSC's Long-Range Development Plan and its annual monitoring programs.

The Final LRDP and its accompanying Final EIR were approved and certified by the UC Board of Regents at its September 19-21, 2006 meeting.  During the three-year planning effort, a Draft LRDP was completed in January 2005; a Draft EIR was prepared to assess the potential environmental effects related to the implementation of the Draft LRDP.
