Based on the vaccination data submitted by students and employees, we have created – in collaboration with offices and departments across campus – comprehensive policies and procedures that will be in place throughout the Fall 2021 semester to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our community and on our experience as Chargers.
Fall 2021 Info and Policies COVID-19 InfoThe University has begun a robust program of renovations and new construction that will revolutionize the central campus and enrich our community in countless ways.
Our goal is to create a campus and a community for the decades to come and a physical environment that embodies the dreams and ambitions of our students. We are doing this by fostering new cross-University collaborations as well as exciting connections between the University, the surrounding community, and our partners in industry and research.
"This program of renovations and new construction is re-envisioning the campus to reflect the entire student experience —one built into classrooms, housing, and social spaces, as well as the ways in which members of the University community, guests, and visitors move through and around the campus," says President Steve Kaplan.
This 44,000-square-foot, three-story building will house engineering and science labs, a 3D visualization technology suite, collaborative classrooms, and studios for the Communication, Film, and Media Studies Department. A soaring, light-filled atrium will serve as a mini-student union.
