Final approval secured to start construction 2019 until 2021. Schematic approval was approved way back in 2015 - typical gov't slow pace. They pay a price for it with cost has since skyrocketed from $600 to $900 per square ft in insane red hot Bay Area prices.
Cost: $181 mil. 8 stories. To be the beacon of the campus. Cafe on ground floor. Lots of wow's.
Funding sources: Campus reserve funds as well as state. 70 years since the state helped in any science building constructions on campus.
Location: north of Duncan hall. This means AS house to be relocated to the north east side of campus near student union - makes sense for all student related services to be next to each other.
Not impressed with SJSU prez's presentation - extremely short and high level and she wasn't the one that initiated the project anyway. In fact, she has yet to initiate anything at SJSU since coming on board. Very disappointed in current prez. She had to defer details presentation to another person. I don't see how hard it is to point out the above herself.
