The Facilities Plan for the Oceanside Campus includes new building and renovation projects to address the identified space deficiencies and functionality issues, and which will be organized around the creation of academic “hubs” throughout the campus, including Health and Wellness, Letters and Humanities, Communications, Arts, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Each hub will include instructional space, student tutoring and studying space, and faculty office space to create a vibrant learning community. Outdoor spaces will connect to promenades and paths linking the hubs together.
Approved and planned projects are listed below. As additional projects are approved, scope defined, and budgets established, they will be added here. (List updated April 2023.)
