The Berkeley Unified School District broke ground recently on a 110-unit affordable apartment complex for teachers and staff.
The six-story complex will occupy a portion of the Berkeley Adult School parking lot at 1701 San Pablo Ave. when it opens in 2027.
The $78 million project adds Berkeley Unified to a growing list of Bay Area school districts backing affordable housing for teachers and other district employees. The projects aim to prevent high housing costs from forcing teachers in the Bay Area to take on additional jobs, face long commutes or relocate to other districts altogether.
