University of California, Merced

The University of California, Merced (also referred to as UC Merced or UCM), is the tenth and newest of the University of California campuses. It is located in the San Joaquin Valley in unincorporated Merced County, California, near Merced. Established in 2005, UC Merced is the first American research university to be built in the 21st century.〔()〕 Most UC Merced students are from California with enrollment nearly evenly divided between Southern California, the Central Valley, and Northern California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ucmerced.edu/fast-facts )
UC Merced claims to be the only institution in the United States to have all of its buildings on campus to be LEED certified. Its Triple Net Zero Commitment is expected to create zero net landfill waste and zero net greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sustainability.ucmerced.edu/area-stakeholders )
==History==
As the San Joaquin Valley was the state's largest and most populous region without a UC campus, on May 19, 1988, the Regents of the University of California voted to begin planning for a campus in the region, in response to increasing enrollment and growth constraints at existing UC campuses. On May 19, 1995, the Regents selected the heart of the Central Valley at the Merced site, mid-way between Fresno and Modesto, as the location for the University of California's tenth campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UC Merced Planning - Project Overview )〕 An $11 Million Packard Grant for 7,030 acres of land was donated by the Virginia Smith Trust, adjacent to Lake Yosemite, making it the largest acreage the University of California has acquired for one of its campuses. The university planned to conserve 5,030 acres from the sensitive vernal pool habitations. A public golf course known as the Merced Hills Golf Course had been constructed at the site in the early 1990s. This course was shut down to make way for the new campus when the original site for the campus was made unavailable due to the discovery of fairy shrimp - an endangered species - on the originally proposed site. Since the construction of the golf course had negated concerns about wetland and vernal pool environment considerations it made building the campus on top of course easier than fighting to save the original construction site. Two small bridges on campus date from the time of the golf course.
UC Merced established a satellite campus in Bakersfield, California in 2001 in its downtown University Square. The satellite campus advocated a UC education to prospective college-bound students of Kern County and the southern San Joaquin Valley before UC Merced opened its official campus in Merced. Classes and counseling were also provided at the Bakersfield center to newly admitted UC students. In 2011, UC Merced closed its Bakersfield campus in a cost-cutting effort. An administrative building was then planned to be located in downtown Merced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=The Bakersfield California )
The campus groundbreaking ceremony was held October 25, 2002, and the first day of class was September 6, 2005. Four years later, on May 16, 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama gave the commencement address for the university's first full graduating class.
In 2010 the United States Census Bureau made UC Merced its own separate census-designated place.〔
Later that same year, the new student housing facilities, The Summits, opened to provide two additional residential halls for incoming students. The two, four-story buildings, Tenaya Hall and Cathedral Hall, are reserved primarily for incoming freshmen students. Three years later, UC Merced another housing facility, Half Dome, next to the existing Tenaya and Cathedral Halls. Half Dome houses both freshman and continuing students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Summits )
In January 2015, UC Merced was nationally classified with the Carnegie Classification for community engagement, along with UC Davis and UCLA.
In November 2015, the University of California regents approved a $1.14 billion proposal to double the size of UC Merced, boosting its enrollment by nearly 4,000 students. The new space is expected to be built by 2020.
