CSU San Marcos leaders Monday revealed details on the their plans to build an affordable housing and dining facility on campus with the intent to reduce overall costs for students.
"This project will ensure that more future CSUSM students will have that opportunity — a key component of our institutional mission of student success," she said.
The project will be funded in part by $91 million that CSUSM is receiving from Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Legislature in their $300 billion budget for 2022-23. Of the $497 million being allocated for student housing projects on nine California State University campuses, CSUSM is being given the second-highest amount.
Prior to this year, the university's housing capacity was 1,547, less than 10% of the university's student population. The UVSS project follows several other housing and dining options which opened or are scheduled to open this year; North Commons opened for the start of the fall semester on Monday and houses 332 students in the North City development across from CSUSM. Also in North City is Campus Way Cafe, an 8,000-square-foot dining hall that will open in September.
When UVSS is completed, the university's housing capacity will increase to more than 15% of the student population. "Students should never have to decide between paying for rent or school supplies, or decide which utilities or basic needs they can live without while pursuing their dreams of becoming a teacher, nurse, scientist or entrepreneur," said Jason Schreiber, CSUSM's dean of students.
