Attendees will include BOXABL executives, UNLV officials, students, and faculty.

The Casita will then be open for public viewing from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, allowing students, faculty, and the broader community the opportunity to tour the space, take a brief survey, and experience its design and functionality firsthand.

“We are thrilled to demonstrate the capabilities of our Casita model here at UNLV,” said Paolo Tiramani, CEO of BOXABL. “Our homes are designed to be rapidly deployed, energy-efficient, and affordable, making them ideal for addressing diverse housing needs, from student accommodation to urban housing solutions.”

The BOXABL Casita is a 361-square-foot unit that can be set up in just one day, fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and living area. Its energy-efficient construction aligns with modern sustainability standards, providing a forward-thinking housing solution for communities and institutions alike. The Casita at UNLV’s campus is completely powered by an off-grid solar system.

The ramp was done in partnership with AV Vegas allowing accessibility to the unit on campus.

BOXABL representatives will be onsite during the ribbon cutting, providing insights into the construction process, the benefits of factory-built housing, and the potential for these units to be utilized in a variety of settings. Students and faculty have expressed enthusiasm about the possibilities that BOXABL’s technology could bring to campus and the broader housing market.
