Lot 2 Will Vanish, Turned into Extension for Nursing Building

Less parking will be available next year, even if it was the size of the little Lot 2 next to the nursing building.

A groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Oct. 28 for the upcoming single-story teaching building, which will take 10 months to build and actually be ready to use by August 2010.

This building, which will cost $5.5 million when approved by the California State University board of trustees in fall 2008, will be approximately 10,800 square-feet and replace 40 to 50 faculty parking spaces in Lot 2. Now the faculty that will have used to park in Lot 2 will be given student-held parking spaces in Lot 18, located on the west campus next to Student Health Services, which consists of student as well as employee and faculty parking spots.

This building will only be one-story due to lack of funds, specifically $2 million. At the current project, this building will fail to see any future growth or expansion due to the limiting foundation.

A good addition to the nursing department and students, who will benefit from this building addition. However, this will constrain parking even more, something most students would rather not look forward to.
