PROGRESS

Building state-of-the-art campus-life facilities

Goal: Construct a major recreation, wellness and sports complex.

Progress:

  • A generous gift of $10 million from Alex and Faye Spanos has provided impetus for the Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex, which will include a Recreation and Wellness Center, an arena, a new fieldhouse and the renovation of the football stadium.
  • Funding campaigns have begun for the entire complex of facilities and about $26 million in private support has been raised.
  • The California State University Board of Trustees has adopted sustainability and energy efficiency goals and the campus has embraced these actions in all its new buildings as well as existing buildings. The new buildings will be constructed to LEED standards.
  • In 2004, Sacramento State students approved by referendum an additional fee dedicated to the construction of a modern Recreation and Wellness Center which will be constructed to be a sustainable building with LEED certification.
  • Demolition of the old Fieldhouse occurred in May 2008, making way for the new 153,000-square-foot Recreation and Wellness Center. Ground breaking for the new building is scheduled for the of Fall 2008. The target for opening the center is September 2010.
  • The Eli and Edythe Broad Fieldhouse—a new fieldhouse for Intercollegiate Athletics – was completed in Spring 2008. Landscaping around the new facility has been completed.
