A Web page with information about the proposed Master Plan update at California State University, Fresno is available at www.csufresno.edu/masterplan. Nearly half a century ago, planners mapped a footprint for the campus to meet the needs of 20,000 students. With growth that has exceeded that figure (last fall Fresno State enrolled a record 22,388 students) it’s time for an update in planning and accommodations. A proposed new Master Plan will take Fresno State through the next 20 years and beyond. The plan is scheduled for presentation to California State University Trustee for approval later this year. To read an article about the Master Plan in FresnoState Magazine, see http://www.fresnostatenews.com/Magazine/FSMagSpring08-MP.pdf.
