Create a Dynamic Physical Environment
Sacramento
State has exciting plans to enhance its already beautiful campus. Chief
among our objectives are the creation of a residential, community feeling
on campus; development of affordable housing and daycare opportunities
for faculty and staff; upgrading of academic facilities; and a open and
more systematic connection to the areas surrounding the campus.
Through Destination 2010 we will create a dynamic physical environment
by:
Planning
effectively and improving our infrastructure
Early 2004 brought major revisions to the campus master plan: planned
construction of new academic buildings, residence halls for students,
a Recreation and Wellness Center, extension of the current north quad
as a green mall reaching the current Library plaza, consolidated and efficient
parking, better transportation flow on the campus periphery, and thoroughfare
connections to off-campus sites such as Folsom Boulevard and the rapidly
changing 65th Street corridor southeast of campus.
Goals:
- Update
master plan as necessary.
- Pursue
new master plan initiatives for 2010 and beyond.
PROGRESS
Providing
excellent academic facilities and support centers
Instructional and academic support centers are critical to our mission
and our planning. The master plan calls for a number of new academic buildings
over the next decade. Some of these will be built through use of state
funds, others through the use of private donations and others through
combinations of funding sources.
Goals:
- Improve
science and fine arts facilities as rapidly as possible.
- Improve
access to academic support materials and technology.
PROGRESS
Developing
residential options for students, faculty and staff
Student housing is central to developing a stronger sense of community
on campus. A significant objective in this regard is an increase in the
number of students now living on or very near campus from 1,100 to 5,000,
a change that will foster a new campus community culture.
Housing for faculty and staff also is a priority. A major part of our
effort to continue to attract the best faculty and staff members from
across the nation is the provision of affordable housing in a market that
has outpaced entry-level faculty and staff members’ ability to purchase
a home.
Goals:
- Construct
new residence halls on campus and increase student housing near campus.
- Develop
affordable housing for faculty and staff.
PROGRESS
Building
state-of-the-art campus life facilities
An important feature of universities that have strong campus-life profiles
are facilities that provide students with recreational opportunities,
quality health services and a venue for major events. As we move toward
developing the "complete" campus, we are developing just such
facilities.
Goal:
- Construct
a major recreation, wellness and sports complex.
