Now here is an interesting side note to the conference. Apparently, the participants and guests can be accommodated without a big hassle (and without a new on-campus hotel).
If you click on the website above, you will find the statement:
Hotel information: The nearby Luxe Hotel is providing rooms at a group rate. Call (800) 468-3541 and provide the group code UCLAGOV to book a room.
Below that, if you don't want to stay at the Luxe, you are told:
For other hotels in the area, check out http://www.travel.ucla.edu/new/HOTELS/LosAngele_Vicinity.shtml
If you click on that link, you will find a listing of area hotels with rates as low as $89. You can also find the cost of staying at the Luxe at the UCLA rate which turns out to start at $139 per night. Here is the listing if you don't want to bother to click:
Best Western Gateway Hotel Santa Monica Courtyard LAX, Century City and Beverly Hills Crowne Plaza Beverly Hills Doubletree Guest Suites Santa Monica Doubletree Los Angeles - Westwood Hilton Los Angeles Airport Holiday Inn Brentwood/Bel-Air Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard Oakwood The Huntley Hotel Renaissance LAX Residence Inn Beverly Hills Sheraton Santa Monica The Los Angeles Athletic Club UCLA Guest House W Hotel Westwood

Bottom line: A major conference held at UCLA can be serviced by existing area hotels at room costs well below the room cost projections for the 280 room hotel/conference center UCLA proposed to replace the Faculty Center. And even in its current state - which clearly needs improvement - the Faculty Center can service the conference.
