UC Merced is growing up -- and out.
Several new buildings, which will pop up on campus over the next two years, are expected to generate local construction jobs.An estimated 50 jobs will be generated per $1 million of construction. That means about 8,750 direct and indirect jobs would be created in total, with many of them being local, according to project documents. |
