Irvine Students Housing, Inc. (ISHI) was officially incorporated in 1975. It was formed by students at the University of California,
Irvine, in an effort to establish cooperative housing as a low cost alternative to existing on-campus housing. Residents conducted
their own management, cooking, cleaning and maintenance. The ISHI Co-op, by agreement with the UCI Student Housing office,
was housed in a building with ten apartments at the Verano Place housing community on campus. In 2007 ISHI disbanded, the
Co-op ceased to operate, and the apartments were made available for standard graduate student housing.
