Campus Conference Center 3G

University of California Merced

UC Merced’s new conference center offers a unique and important opportunity to respond to the surrounding community in Merced and the San Joaquin Valley.

A CENTRAL HUB
As a regional resource, the new conference center provides the University and community a gathering spot to host events ranging from career fairs, research symposiums, and cultural forums to weddings. Located centrally in the campus, the building is designed with multiple access points to promote flow within the building and create connections to the larger campus.

The UC Merced 2020 expansion began with two key projects: the Glacier Point and El Portal Residence Halls. Upon successful completion of these sites, Mahlum was asked to develop a third building, the Campus Conference Center 3G, a fundamental part of the University’s growth.

“Mahlum proved to be our trusted expert through all phases of design; collaborative, responsive and reliable to the needs of both the University and Design/Build teams – all of which was more impressive given their services were delivered on a complex, multi-faceted, fast paced P3 delivery model.”
