MUNGERGRADUATE RESIDENCES
Improving Undergraduate Housing
The project will also enable improvements in undergraduate housing. The new graduate residences will provide more space for undergraduate students, thereby easing overcrowding.
Enabling Academic Expansion
Stanford must, under the provisions of the General Use Permit approved by Santa Clara County, build residences in order to expand academic facilities. The addition of new housing units enables critical academic projects included in the capital plan to proceed. This includes projects in the sciences, engineering, medicine, business, the humanities, education, recreation and intercollegiate sports.
For Construction Information
Stanford will make every effort to keep you informed and to minimize the inconvenience to the community during construction. A project information line and a Web site have been established for community members to receive updated information, ask questions and to provide comments.

Stanford Department of Project Management
The construction of the Munger Graduate Residences is being overseen by the Department of Project Management at Stanford University. The department provides preliminary planning and construction management for new buildings and renovations of existing facilities across the University’s main campus. These projects are undertaken to meet the teaching and research needs of the University. Communication and mitigation measures are key elements of every construction project on campus.
PROJECT BENEFITSInvesting in Our Future: Fulfilling a Need for Graduate Residences
The Munger Graduate Residences project will help alleviate the long-standing problem of providing on-campus housing to graduate students. In the past, Stanford has been unable to meet demand for high-end graduate housing, which is increasingly important in the recruitment of the best graduate students. This high-quality, mixed graduate community will be the largest campus in-fill project in Stanford’s history, and will establish a vibrant academic atmosphere for learning and exchange.
BENEFACTORS
The project is moving forward thanks to the largest gift ever earmarked for university housing at Stanford. Stanford will use a $43.5 million gift from Nancy and Charles Munger as the foundation for a one-of-a-kind mixed graduate student community on more than six acres of university land that links the main campus to the various Lower Row residences.

PROJECT OVERVIEW The Munger Graduate Residences will redefine graduate education at Stanford by creating premium housing for 600 graduate students near the center of campus. The residences will be a model of interdisciplinary living and learning and will offer an array of modern apartments and communal spaces fostering cross-disciplinary thought, debate and collaboration.
• 358 residential units for 600 graduate students.
• 5 buildings between 4 and 5 stories in height totaling 469,522 square feet of floor space.
• Luxury studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 4-bedroom residential units.
• Common spaces including a great hall, café/kitchen, meeting space, convenience store, and operational center for housing services.
• Buildings oriented around an open pedestrian plaza and landscaped walkways.
• A new 4-level, 1,187-stall parking structure located beneath Wilbur Field that will support Munger residents, as well as other students and staff.
Site Preparation
In 2006, many activities took place to prepare for the construction of the Munger Graduate Residences. These activities included major utility upgrades, roadway and streetscape improvements, better pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular access, and the relocation and renovation of five historic houses (Owen, Griffen-Drell, Mariposa, Serra and Rogers).
Construction Schedule
Construction of the Munger Graduate Residences is scheduled to begin in May 2007 and occupancy is planned for 2009.
