The California State University will review a new master plan this week that proposes to develop a 1.3 million-sf space, expanding campus buildings by 30%. The expansion will focus primarily on student and faculty housing. The original plan involved building a 2.5 million-sf research park that would accommodate both commercial and academic uses.
