IRVINE

The UC Board of Regents has approved construction of a chancellor’s residence on the UC Irvine campus. The single-story, ranch-style home will be built on a three-acre site in University Hills--a housing community on campus for faculty and staff.

The $3-million house will be funded by non-state money. An estimated $1.1 million will come from the sale of a Newport Beach home that has served as the chancellor’s residence since the university was founded in 1965.

Plans for the residence had been put on hold in 1993 because of the UC system’s budget crisis in the early 1990s.
