PROPOSED LAYOUT FOR
SACRAMENTO STATE COLLEGE CAMPUS

Published January 30, 1950

THIS IS IT! – Should the state division of architecture approve the above layout, Architect Charles F. Dean will proceed with a formal master plan for construction of the Sacramento State College. The legislature (bless ’em) has reached deep into the sock, and has come up with a cool $3,625,000 for the new college. However, $385,000 went the way most American dollars when the 288-acre tract along the American River at Fair Oaks Boulevard was purchased. First up for construction are the administration building (1), the library (2), the science building (3), the general classrooms (4), the cafeteria (10), and the boiler plant (12). The parking areas will accommodate some 3,000 cars, or when construction is completed, if the times warrant it, some 1,700 helicopters (with wings folded).
