In response to increasing housing costs, UNLV is collaborating with tech startup Boxabl to assess interest in the company’s prefabricated, mass-produced studio houses as a potential solution for students. Boxabl's flagship model, the Casita, is currently available for public viewing along the Alumni Walk near the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The university is also exploring the possibility of utilizing 2,000 acres of UNLV land in North Las Vegas to establish a community of Casita units and provide students with more residential options.
