Project Overview and Timeline
The Mountain will provide our community with parking, community gathering, and state-of-the-art athletic facilities. The University eagerly looks forward to opening The Mountain in the fall of 2026.
Construction of The Mountain will begin with the parking structure, set to break ground
in early 2023. The Parking structure project will feature seven levels - five above
ground and two below, adding 831 parking spaces to campus. The structure is anticipated
to feature 42 electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces upon opening as well as infrastructure
to support over 200 EV charging spaces in the future. The parking structure is scheduled
to be completed in the Fall of 2024.
The University is scheduled to break ground on the other elements of The Mountain in early 2024. More information about these facilities will be posted when available.

the groundbreaking of the Mountain at Mullin Park on September 20, 2023.
As one of the biggest transformations on the Malibu campus since the 1970s, The Mountain will be a place that nurtures students' minds, bodies, and spirits and builds a unique sense of community unlike any university in the country.
