Envision UC Irvine

A Framework for UC Irvine’s Future:
2027 Long Range Development Plan


The 2027 UC Irvine Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) guides the future physical development of the campus in support of our academic mission, sustainability goals, and role as a regional partner.

This LRDP is not a directive for expansion; it is a proactive framework to evaluate potential future needs and to identify how the campus can responsibly evolve over the next 15 to 20 years.

The LRDP helps UC Irvine:

  • Explore a range of future planning scenarios
  • Test capacity thresholds to understand what the campus can support
  • Prepare for long-term capital investments with greater clarity
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory standards
  • Guide future physical changes in a responsible, environmentally conscious way

As UC Irvine addresses sustainability goals, resource demands, housing needs, and transportation infrastructure, this planning process will help us create a resilient, welcoming campus that is positioned to thrive for decades to come.
