For my last post, I would like to show you what CSULB has in store for itself at the end of the next 3-5 years. Like I have mentioned in the past few posts, Scott Charmack has opened my eyes to numerous projects going on around campus that students may not even notice.
Upon reading the release from President F. King Alexander in the previous post, the school has a large budget to work with for all of the upcoming projects. The year 2008 brings up numerous projects that the school will undertake. Some I have talked about inlcuding: the finishing of the library, the start of the Rec Center, the Outpost Cafe and Starbucks will be started and completed.
On top of these large projects, the school will be constructing a third parking structure. There will be a complete renovation of the Peterson Hall 3 building. According to the CSULB website, "When finished in 3-5 years, we will have modern, up-to-date space for over 90% of our faculty and students." The Nursing Program will also be looking at a $2.3 million nursing facility improvement.
CSULB is looking great improvements all over campus. The students, faculty and alumni have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming years. 2008 is looking to be a very promising year.

Added Security
CSULB is about 2/3 of the way done with finishing their extension of the exterior lighting on campus. On the CSULB website, there is a release from President F. King Alexander stating what is in store for the upcoming fiscal budget. In this release, Alexander touches upon the topic of securtiy around campus and what he has in store for it.
"We will install security cameras in critical exterior areas throughout the university as well as increase campus lighting along many darkened walkways and buildings," Alexander stated.
When speaking with Scott Charmack, Associate Vice President of Physical Planning and Facilities Management, he told me that the lighting project is almost done. The administration putting in the extra set of lights and cameras for added security all around campus.

The Rec Center
Here is a little background about the upcoming Rec Center. When interviewing Scott Charmack, the Associate Vice President of Physical Planning and Facilities Management, he brought out a large sketch of the future Rec Center. It will be a 125,000 square foot center that is estimated to be finished in the year 2010.
In January, the Board of Trustees will be presented with the sketch of the new center, which they will then vote on. The center is going to be an equipped "Wellness Center" that is going to be accessible to all students, unlike the gym on campus right now.
Charmack informed me that the cardio room will be overlooking the campus and will be furnished with large screen televisions as well individual televisions. There will be multiple basketball courts, racquetball courts, a climbing wall, and that is only to name some of what will be going into the center.
For a fun insight, here is an article from the Union Weekly about the construction of the Rec Center: http://lbunion.com/blog/343
