current location was designed by the architect Moshe Safdie. Safdie designed the buildings within ERC so that they would not interfere with the campus's ocean view. It has also been noted that the layout of ERC was designed to bring people together. The residential facilities are named after global regions and seek to integrate the philosophy of the college into their design. There are five residence halls for freshmen (Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America Halls) and six apartment complexes for sophomores (Earth Hall North, Earth Hall South, Middle East, Oceania, Geneva, and Mesa Verde Hall). The residence halls are on the western side of the ERC Green. Middle Earth, a common lounge, sits in front of the Earth Hall North and South apartment buildings, which are on the eastern side of the Green. Café Ventanas, ERC's dining hall, is on north side of the Green. To the south of the Green is the Student Activity Center, a laundromat, and an Amazon locker. Behind the Student Activity Center is the Pangea Parking Structure. ERC hosts three Living Learning Communities (LLCs). Living Learning Communities seek to bring together a like-minded group of people who want to live together. The Raza LLC, for Latinx students, is located within one of the residence halls for new students, and I-House for continuing students. The Gender Inclusive LLC is located in the ERC apartments and I-House. Students who participated in the OASIS Summer Bridge program for first-generation college students can opt to live in the OASIS LLC. International House (I-House) ERC also is home to UCSD's International House (I-House), whose residents are composed of half international and half domestic students. I-House consists of four apartment buildings: Geneva Hall, Kathmandu House, Cuzco House, and Asante House. I-House also contains the Great Hall, a basketball court, four classrooms, a laundromat, and an activity center. Faculty and post-graduate visitors can live in fourth-floor furnished apartments inside of I-House. They are called Visiting Scholar Bridge-unit Apartments, as the units act as bridges between the two sides of the apartment building. Visiting Scholar Bridge-unit Apartments are located in the Asante, Kathmandu, and Geneva buildings. The Great Hall is an event center in ERC, and is used for I-House and ERC events. It can also be rented for private events. Four classrooms are located in Asante House. Student organizations Circuit Research Journal (or ERC Circuit) is an undergraduate research
