Student Demand

Early Days | Rapid Growth | Community Partnerships | University Housing | Student Demand

Cal State Fullerton has continued to be a popular campus with students and, to meet their needs, building continues. An addition to the University Center, now known as the Titan Student Union, was completed in 1992. Among its features is a 1,200-seat pavilion, small theater, food court, pub, bowling alley and conference rooms.
An addition to the library was completed in 1996 and a 71,000-square-foot expansion of the Kinesiology and Health Science Building in 2003.

Additional classrooms and offices came on line in 1993 with the opening of the five-story University Hall. A Science Laboratory Center just south of McCarthy Hall was added in 1994. It was renamed in honor of alumnus Dan Black in 2006.

Today, construction and future planning continues. The latest master plan, approved in 2003, defines potential sites for up to 15 new facilities, proposed sites for additional parking structures and student housing, a meeting and dining facility on the east side of campus and expansions of some existing structures—all to meet the needs of a campus that has grown to serve nearly 36,000 students, as well as its surrounding communities.

“Hopefully, future generations will see us as visionary planners as well,” said Bond, “bringing a campus from suburban to urban while improving the quality of the built environment for people to learn and enjoy.”
