Officials discussed the steady increase in size of the university story by Samantha Gonzaga Daily Titan Staff Writer T he Facilities Master Development Plan, which addressed the enrollment growth at Cal State Fullerton, was held Thursday in the Pollak Library. The kick-off meeting was the first of many that will be held to discuss the issue of the overcrowding in Cal State Fullerton. The audience, which was comprised of faculty, students and members of the architectural firm A.C. Martin Partners, sat in a classroom set-up in room 130 of the library. President Milton Gordon opened the meeting with a speech, one that urged to those present to feel free to participate in the decision-making process. We want feedback, feel free to be able to make a recommendation.
Input is vital and necessary, but a decision needs to be made.
Vice President of Facilities Management Jay Bond also introduced the speaker who would be driving the remainder of the meeting, Richard W. Thompson. Thompson, director of urban planning and design for A.C Martin Partners, then took the floor. His firm has had experience with other college universities. They have helped with the renovations of campuses like Cal Tech, UC Irvine and Cal State University Chico. As the student population nears capacity, the need to take action seemed all the more urgent.
